Healing attachment trauma, with Thais Gibson

<p>How do we heal difficult experiences from our childhood? And how to they impact us as adults, in our relationships? How do painful childhood experiences shape our attachment styles? In this episode of Pause Purpose Play, we get to know more about attachment styles, trauma and the unconscious mind keeping a score of what we've been through, giving rise to protective behaviours, which can ultimately still be changed.  Thais Gibson is an author, speaker and co-creator of the Personal Development School, best known for her contributing work and research on Attachment Theory and the impact of attachment trauma on our adult romantic relationships. She overlaps attachment trauma challenges with personal core wounds, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns at the subconscious level to give us deeper insight into ourselves and our relationships. </p> <p>We talk about</p> <p>4:58 Thais' story 9:15 Bringing a high achieving attitude to recovery 11:30 Noticing a critical inner voice 13:30 Thais' recovery from addiction 16:42 Healing attachment pain from childhood 18:10 Internalising our upbringing 21:00 Patterns in attachment styles  - 22:44 Securely attached  - 24:54 Insecure dismissive  - 27:42 Anxious preoccupied  - 30:22 Fearful avoidant 35:43 Steps to combat protest behaviours 44:54 The benefits of inner work 54:31 Why we self-sabotage </p> <p>Find out more about Thais at <a href='http://www.personal'>www.personaldevelopmentschool.com</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHQ4lSaKRap5HyrpitrTOhQ/videos'>Thais Gibson on Youtube</a></p> <p><a href='http://www.thethomasconnection.co.uk/thelastingconnection'>Order my book, The Lasting Connection, here</a></p> <p>Find me at <a href='https://thethomasconnection.co.uk/'>www.thethomasconnection.co.uk</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/the_thomas_connection/'>@the_thomas_connection</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/thethomasconnection/'>www.facebook.com/thethomasconnection</a
