ABOUT THE EPISODE
In this episode, Alveena explores how the way we love is shaped long before we realise it. From childhood moments of comfort and conflict to how we connect in adulthood, she unpacks attachment theory and its impact on our relationships, resilience, and faith.
Through psychology, faith, and personal reflection, she explains how early experiences with caregivers teach us lessons about love, safety, and belonging that echo throughout our adult lives.
This episode is for anyone interested in attachment theory, emotional healing, or understanding how early experiences shape the way we give and receive love.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Attachment develops through small daily interactions, not major moments.
- Early experiences shape how we give and receive love as adults.
- Secure attachment leads to emotional balance, resilience, and openness.
- Insecure attachment can create anxiety, avoidance, or self-protection.
- Healing begins with awareness of the patterns we inherited.
- Our relationship with God often mirrors how we first learned to experience love and safety.
BEST MOMENTS
"I learned to keep my feelings to myself, to write in my diary, and to cry in secret."
"Attachment develops gradually through thousands of tiny interactions in the early years."
"Being anxious or avoidant doesn’t mean you failed. It means you learned to survive."
"Children learn about God’s mercy through how their parents show mercy to them."
"Those moments that shaped us don’t have to define who we become."
