The 3 Saboteurs of Emotional Dependency

Relationships and marriage are meant to bring joy and fulfillment, but they also require work and understanding. 💡 We are wired for community, not just with our partner but with others who help keep us accountable. In romantic relationships, especially marriage, we rely on healthy emotional connections to avoid hopping from one relationship to the next. 💍

In this episode, Erin and Joshua break down the three saboteurs of emotional dependency that may show up in your relationship if you’re feeling disconnected. They also provide simple, practical steps to deepen your connection. One key concept they dive into is primal panic, a natural alarm system that can trigger fear, isolation, and a sense of helplessness in relationships when your partner is emotionally or physically unavailable. 🧠 This connects to attachment theory, where three attachment styles wave (anxious), island (avoidant), and anchor (secure) play a significant role in how we interact with our partners.

Are you aware of your own attachment style and how it affects your relationships? 💭
