Episode One: Attachment Theory History & Process

-Welcome to my NEW podcast, Love Matters, where I'll talk about real academic research mixed with real life experiences to hopefully improve the real relationships you have with important people in your life. Here's Episode One of Season One! Episode One is all about the history of attachment theory and the actual process of developing attachment. In this episode, I explain how Dr. John Bowlby started thinking about how mother-child separation causes significant distress in a child and how attachment theory came to be. I also explain the role that internal working models play in the attachment process and how the attachment foundation developed in early childhood can impact you for decades. **Special thanks to my contributors in Episode One: Brandy, Rachel, & Lauren. -For season one, I’ve decided to do an in depth, 12 episode explanation of a single concept that impacts us all: attachment. I'm your host, Dr. Jennie Rosier. I actually teach a class at James Madison University in the School of Communication Studies called Attachment Communication and much of this season’s podcast is based on my lectures from that class. Whether you don’t know anything about attachment or you feel like you’re an expert on the topic, I hope that listening to this season of the Love Matters Podcast will spark a new interest in you to think about how your own early life experiences have molded you into who you are today, how your interactions with others impact them and you in both positive and negative ways, and how your relationships with the people you love are shaped by attachment. -Lucky for you, I'm not just offering a podcast to help you understand attachment.
