In this episode of NorthPoint Counseling Perspective, John Sternfels explores the foundational topic of attachment styles—how our early childhood experiences with parents /caregivers shape the way we connect, trust, and navigate intimacy in adulthood.

John unpacks the four main attachment styles—Secure, Anxious (Preoccupied), Avoidant (Dismissive), and Fearful-Avoidant (Disorganized)—offering his own, real-life example, psychological insight, and compassionate guidance to help listeners identify their own patterns.

Whether you're struggling with relationship anxiety, emotional distance, or past trauma, this episode will help you:

• Understand the roots of your attachment style
• Recognize how it affects your current relationships
• Discover practical steps toward healing and growth

If you're ready to deepen your self-awareness and take the next step toward emotional security and connection, this episode is a must-listen.
