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.

Explore the critical importance of emotional needs in early childhood and how the ability to regulate emotions serves as a form of crime prevention. 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. Bev explains the different attachment styles—secure and insecure—and their subcategories, shedding light on how these patterns can lead to a cycle of dysfunction if left unaddressed.

Listeners will gain insights into identifying and unraveling core wounds, understanding personal needs, and establishing healthy boundaries. Bev highlights the transformative power of emotional regulation, emphasizing its potential to break cycles of trauma and create more fulfilling connections.
