Join me and my guest Bev Mitelman, a relationship and attachment trauma practitioner, as they delve into how unpredictable and chaotic environments during childhood shape adult behaviors and relationships. Bev, the founder of Securely Loved, shares her expertise on the foundational role of early caregiver interactions in forming attachment styles that carry into adulthood.

Bev discusses the prevalence of emotional dysregulation and its potential consequences, such as violence and self-destructive behaviors, while offering hope for learning these crucial skills in adulthood.

The episode also examines the phenomenon of women being attracted to incarcerated men, using cases like the Menendez brothers and Gypsy Rose to illustrate the deep-seated patterns formed by childhood trauma.
