In this insightful episode of Holding Space, Dr. Christopher Barker welcomes therapist and former student Irene Sullivan to explore how conflicting attachment styles—especially anxious and avoidant patterns—can disrupt connection in relationships. Together, they discuss the emotional dance between co-regulators and self-regulators, the power of clear communication, and how vulnerability, validation, and presence are essential for relational healing.
Irene and Dr. Barker also touch on parenting through an attachment lens, the difference between guilt and shame, and how to build resilience through emotional awareness and self-compassion. A core takeaway? It's okay to be you—and to ask for what you need.
