Attachment Theory as an Antidote to Distress


In this conversation, we discover how Attachment Theory can provide a helpful framework for congregations and members in distress. We discuss why relational ruptures may spark primal panic, and how an adaptive lens such as Attachment Theory can provide the basis for intervention. Finally, we’ll explore how to foster secure environments in our churches.
