## Resource

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit abbieattwoodwellness.substack.com How do our attachment styles shape our relationship with food, body image, and disordered eating? In this episode, I’m joined by therapists Vanessa and Kate to explore the powerful connection between attachment theory and eating behaviors—why food can feel like safety, control, or comfort, and how early relationships influence the way we cope today. If you’ve ever wondered why your patterns with food feel so hard to change, this conversation will help you understand them with more clarity and compassion. In this episode, we cover: *What attachment theory is and the four main patterns: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized *How attachment patterns are linked to disordered eating and body image struggles *Looking as food behaviors through the lens of seeking safety and regulation *The difference between comfort-seeking and numbing (and why both can show up in any eating pattern) *How relationships and family dynamics can trigger changes in eating behaviors *The impact of diet culture, GLP-1 medications, and social media on body image and food choices *Why “rupture and repair” is essential for healing your relationship with food and your body *Practical ways to build a more secure, compassionate relationship with eating Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?
