In this episode of Melanin Speaking dive into attachment theory and how our early experiences with caregivers influence the way we handle relationships as adults. We’re joined by Kamal, a financial analyst, and Helen, an expert in child and adolescent psychiatry, to help us unpack the different types of attachment. We discuss how our childhood connections—or lack of them—affect our emotional lives today. We also explore resilience in children and navigate the cultural differences in family dynamics. This episode gave us a lot to think about when it comes to understanding our own attachment styles and how they shape who we are.
