How Our Attachment Styles, Self-Regulation and Self-Compassion Influence the Adoption Process

Attachment styles are such an integral part of how we do relationships, and it is especially important to understand how ours operates within our own family dynamics. In fact, our familial relationships most accurately depict what our attachment styles are. 

When we learn how our attachment styles influence our ability to relate, regulate our emotions, parent better and develop self-awareness and self-compassion, we can relate better in our relationships. All of these skills become especially important in the process of adoption. My guest, Dayna Kumar, shares what her process of adoption looks like on this episode. Dayna and I also discuss the following topics:

• Learning about the different attachment styles 
• How attachment styles affect our parenting
