How To Change The Quality Of Your Relationships At Any Age with Dr Amir Levine #646

Hey guys, how are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far. My name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More. I think that the episode you're about to hear has the potential to shift how you think about something fundamental to all humans, how we relate to others.

Now you've probably heard of attachment styles. Maybe you've even taken an online quiz to find out your own. Well, today's guest, the psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine, wrote a landmark bestseller on this topic all the way back in 2010 called Attached. Now, with his latest book, Secure, The Revolutionary Guide to Creating a Secure Life, he's moving the theory on.

You see, the quality of our relationships affects how we feel emotionally, our energy levels, and even our physical health and brain structure. Our brains are wide for connection, but crucially, how they do it is not set in stone. In this conversation, Amir makes a compelling case that it doesn't matter what your attachment style is now, be it anxious, avoidant, fearful, avoidant, or secure, your brain can change. At any stage or age, you can learn to create a secure life in which your relationships help you feel calm, supported, and safe. And he's developed plenty of practical tools to help you do so.
