Back to Episodes36: The Art of Attachment: Healing, Growth and Connection
Description
Attachment, Parts Work, and Finding Safety in Yourself and Creation
Host Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, offers a content warning, and shares ways to connect with his website for one-on-one trauma coaching and an introductory Thursday-evening parts work group. He then discusses how attachment wounds rooted in childhood lack of mirroring can lead to parts that “bait” others or create push-pull relationship dynamics, often experienced without awareness and triggering fears of abandonment. Jesse emphasizes approaching these behaviors without shame, noticing them, and turning toward parts with curiosity to become a compassionate witness, reducing the need for reenactment. He highlights the value of borrowing nervous-system support through individual and group work, and broadens attachment beyond people to include relationship with nature, time, space, God, and self, encouraging daily cultivation of these connections and affirming listeners they are “right on time.”
