E.5: Connection Instead Of Attachment

Attachment, at an instinctual level, is a way of connecting to a group in order to feel safe. But what if this “safety” is not the unconditional and unwavering feeling we desire? What if it’s merely a transactional exchange based on expectations? These days, the concept of attachment styles is relatively common knowledge. This week Kori is putting aside the commonly known definitions and rolls of attachment and instead, dives into why we attach and how we can make connections rather than attachments. Attachments can be formed to any person, item, belief, or even memory that makes us feel safe. But Kori invites us to look at the ways in which you can lose yourself in this attachment; and in contrast, how we can find freedom in connection. She compares the way the two experiences make us feel, how they drive us to interact with others, and how they inspire us to connect with ourselves.
