Art of Relating: How to Create Healthy Relationships

New Update: Announcing the Four Attachment Distress Responses Quiz and Course

https://www.alanrobarge.com/adrquiz

Many of us want to know how to heal, how to change, how to be more secure, etc. This is why I created the course: The Four Attachment Distress Responses. You're invited to take the quiz and learn about your Response.

Many of our behaviors in relationships are habitual - meaning we act out of autopilot. Our autopilot Response comes from past conditioning of negative experiences. When attachment injuries go unaddressed, we become insecure in our relationships.

The Four Attachment Distress Responses Course describes each specific type of guardedness, which means how we try to protect ourselves from getting hurt again while attempting to get our attachment needs met.

While we cannot change the past, we can change how we respond in the moment and in the future. This course offers you insights and tools as new ways to respond in your relationships. The Four Responses are Poking, Running, Hiding, and Submitting.

Check out the quiz to learn more: See link above.

As an Attachment-Focused Psychotherapist, I teach and promote a model of Self-Directed Healing, which translates into a model of self-empowerment. We’re strengthening your ability to advocate for yourself. As Selfhealers, we take a holistic approach. This means we advocate for your mental health, your personal growth, and your overall well-being. It means you are in the driver seat of your own care.

On my videos, I like to talk about and explore Healing Attachment Trauma, Relationship Repair, Inner Child Self-Re-Parenting, Codependency, Love Addiction, Grieving Break Ups, Family Programming, Love Yourself, Fantasy Relationships, Trauma Bonding, and CPTSD Breakthroughs.

Attachment Injuries, Codependency, and Love Addiction

In this video, I present the imagery of emotional tennis as a metaphor for emotional engagement. This reciprocity of attunement is at the heart of good relating. We need to be engaged in the back-and-forth exchange in order for our body's felt sense to experience connection. The completion of the interpersonal dance requires a responsive partner who participates.

These exchanges take place constantly between partners, friends, and family members. When we notice the frequency of exchange with those we engage with emotionally, we are able to strategize for improved relating.

Two key qualities needed to stay in the game of emotional tennis are curiosity about the interaction itself, and then also vulnerability of one’s own experience. If we cultivate these two qualities, we will be better equipped to create stronger bonds of emotional attunement.
