    as someone who is into psychology, love that this is getting spoken about from a christian perspective, however, i believe dr. mentioned the enneagram and i think it’s important that we look at the origin of these things. please look into yourself if you care to. lack of knowledge, the people perish 💙
  • @lisar5349
    Joel's definition was fantastic, so helpful 🤯🤓
  • @That1grI
    I always hoped I was avoidant bc it made me more “gangsta” but when I heard JM give the description of anxious w low view of self and high regard for others …. I’m like ohhhhh that’s me. That’s for making it simple for me in this way ❤️❤️❤️😅
  • I love that you’re covering this! I teach attachment styles each semester to my Lifespan Development classes and we just covered them this week.
  • @RoseC1209
    Doctor Jim touched on the fact that His attachment style will come out now (tho more infrequently than younger years). I am curious to know why and what circumstance triggers it to come out and how he works through it to get back to a place of "safety". Thank you so much in advance for answering this question. 🙏 Rose

    What if our womb wasn't safe? Inwas adopted out by my bio mom amd dad said no. She started beating on me by age 6 until 35. I have begged her for the mom love until this past September. I listened to Goodbye and Goodboundaries last year and I have do the most healing since listening to the audible (I hope to get the actual book one day) and I learned the way to set and hold boundaries and learning that when my morals/beliefs/rifhts are violated I will do a,b,c and I now can not let her harm me. Life changing for me! Thank you

    So glad you are talking about this topic. Saying that narcissistic people tend to be avoidant may not be totally correct. There are narcs in all attachment styles.... especially covert narcs which may lean more anxious. I highly recommend checking out The Personal Development School with Thais Gibson for in depth attachment style information. She talks about how the styles act in relationships.
  • @diannatomson3193
    My husband always asks if I love him, how much I love him and why I love him. Very exhausting and definitely a covert narcissist!
  • @amandaelsts4863
    I love this episode and I want more on this topic! Is there any way for some visuals to go along with like diagrams or a breakdown with examples written out? I'm a visual audio learner 😅
  • @sunnysideup2663
    Is there a test to know exactly which one is the dominant one? I believe I have a little of all of them.
  • My attachment style is anxiety. I am very ok with myself. But there's still a longing to be attached?
