What Attachment Style Are You? How To Know, Why It Matters, and How To Change It If You Need To | Amir Levine

Your health, relationships, and self-esteem all hinge on your attachment style. Here's how to know if you're anxious or avoidant — and how to get more secure. Dr. Amir Levine [https://amirlevinemd.com/] is a Columbia-trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist and coauthor of the multi-million-copy bestseller Attached [https://www.amazon.com/Attached-Science-Adult-Attachment-YouFind/dp/1585429139], which brought attachment theory into mainstream conversation and remains the #1 book on Amazon in Relationships more than a decade later. His new book Secure [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/806976/secure-by-amir-levine-md/] expands this work into emotional regulation and everyday well-being. In this episode we talk about: * What attachment theory is * The four attachment styles — anxious, avoidant, secure, and fearful avoidant — and how to identify which one you are * Why your attachment style is not fixed and how it can change * What happens in your brain when you're ignored or excluded * How being securely connected can extend your life * The five pillars of a secure life * How to right-size a relationship with someone unreliable * Small, seemingly insignificant daily interactions as vehicles for change * Two rules of secure engagement that can defuse almost any argument * Why anxious and avoidant attachment styles each have genuine superpowers * How to build your "attachment topography" Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here [https://app.danharris.com/membership] Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here [http://www.danharris.com/] Follow Dan on social: Instagram [https://bit.ly/3tGigG5], TikTok [https://bit.ly/3FOA84J] Subscribe to our YouTube Channel [https://bit.ly/3FybRzD] Join Dan, Sebene Selassie, and Jeff Warren for Meditation Party, a 3-day immersive retreat at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, October 16–18.

Buddhist Strategies For Reducing Everyday Addictions (To Your Phone, Food, Booze, And More) | Sister Dang Nghiem

We're all hooked on something. Here's the way out, according to an MD who became a beloved nun. Sister Dang Nghiem, MD, ("Sister D") was born in 1968 in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, the daughter of a Vietnamese mother and an American soldier. She lost her mother at the age of twelve and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen with her brother. Living in various foster homes, she learned English and went on to earn a medical degree from the University of California – San Francisco. After suffering further tragedy and loss, she quit her practice as a doctor to travel to Plum Village monastery in France founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, where she was ordained a nun in 2000, and given the name Dang Nghiem, which means adornment with nondiscrimination. She is the author of a memoir, Healing: A Woman's Journey from Doctor to Nun (2010), and Mindfulness as Medicine: A Story of Healing and Spirit (2015). This episode is part of our monthlong Do Life Better [https://www.meditatehappier.com/podcast-playlists/new-years-2025-do-life-better] series. We talk about: * Sister D's Buddhist version of the 12 step program, which is a combination of two canonical buddhist lists: the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path * How willpower doesn't fit into the Buddhist path of understanding and working with addiction * How to change addiction at its root * Practical applications of mindfulness * Self-compassion * The importance of social support * Her thoughts on our relationships to our phones * And more Related Episodes: * This Episode Will Make You Stronger | Sister Dang Nghiem [https://www.danharris.com/p/this-episode-will-make-you-stronger-365] * The Science Of Manifestation | James Doty [https://www.danharris.com/p/the-science-of-manifestation-can-05e] Sign up for Dan's newsletter here [http://www.danharris.com/] Follow Dan on social: Instagram [https://bit.ly/3tGigG5], TikTok [https://bit.ly/3FOA84J] Ten Percent Happier online bookstore [https://bit.ly/46TZglY] Subscribe to our YouTube Channel [https://bit.ly/3FybRzD] Our favorite playlists on: Anxiety [https://spoti.fi/3Qa8kMT], Sleep [https://spoti.fi/3MjtMxF], Relationships [https://spoti.fi/3QvyA5J], Most Popular Episodes [https://spoti.fi/3QxZASc] Full Shownotes: https://www.meditatehappier.com/podcast/tph/sister-d-899 [https://www.meditatehappier.com/podcast/tph/phap-luu-889] Additional Resources: * Plum Village [https://plumvillage.org/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA34S7BhAtEiwACZzv4ZHKdt8BUkirRTIJJsd_5Wwf01R6yVA7iXkumG9vlXUjDVgp2p-3dxoCsb0QAvD_BwE#filter=.region-na] * Deer Park Monastery [https://deerparkmonastery.org/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA34S7BhAtEiwACZzv4cnlrDQPamfFh42DhEsJ-wnUtEe8M-5ylxMcY8A_qv3hkhsYnMVrfBoCiHIQAvD_BwE] * Deer Park Monastery YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/DeerParkMonastery] * For an exclusive offering related to this episode, go to www.DanHarris.com [http://www.danharris.com/]

Your Mind Gets Stuck In Four Ways — Here's How To Break Free | Pascal Auclair

Pascal Auclair [https://www.pascalauclair.org/?lang=en] has been immersed in Buddhist practice and study since 1997, sitting retreats in Asia and America. He has been mentored by Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield, who have both been previous guests on this show.
