Episode Synopsis

We hear so much about attachment theory and styles lately. It's something that affects all relationships later in life but many aren't aware of it or their own triggers.In this episode of Embodied Millions, I'm joined by my partner, Donnie Gioia, as we discuss our own healing journeys, focusing on inner child work and the impact of past trauma on adult relationships.Donnie shares his childhood experiences, including emotional shutdown from family chaos, and highlights the importance of vulnerability through his involvement in a men's group, "Breakthrough for Men."We shared how unresolved childhood issues trigger conflicts, using a recent personal incident to illustrate differing communication styles. It's important to know the individual healing effect on your partnership and we encourage everyone to seek support and foster understanding within relationships. If you know someone that could benefit from the information and our story, please share.HIGHLIGHTS:3:17 Donnie's Childhood Story8:42 Joining the Men's Group11:52 Understanding Triggers and Transitions17:35 The Engagement Trigger21:43 Navigating Conflict in Relationships30:07 Breaking the CycleCONNECT WITH DANIELLE:Programs and MoreFind me on FacebookFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TwitterConnect with me on LINKEDINSchedule a free session
