Grief and loss come in all forms. Death, a breakup, the loss of a pet, a best friend, a home, or a job. We grieve our health when we become sick or our innocence when we are violated. This podcast discusses different forms of grief and offers tips on how to process loss. This podcast is part of the attachment series because when we grieve, we are missing something we were attached to. We grieve the loss of our attachment to a person, place, or thing, and sometimes we grieve what we didn't have such as a healthy childhood or a nurturing/validating parent.
This podcast discussion relates to the connection between isolation and suicide. Many people who attempt or complete suicide have experienced a recent breakup, job loss, or the loss of a significant relationship. Without a secure base of attachment or sense of belonging, the desire for living decreases. If you are seeking to learn more information about why people complete suicide (beyond a chemical imbalance), this podcast is for you.
If you want to learn more about attachment disorders, study Norma Jeane, a.k.a Marilyn Monroe. As a child, she was passed around among various foster homes because her mother was schizophrenic and she never knew her father. Although her celebrity self gained a lot of attention, her true self felt lonely and misunderstood. Ultimately she died alone. "Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in."
This podcast is a summary of the blog article I wrote for Vocal Media: https://vocal.media/stories/radicalized-by-dejaye-botkin. Be sure to read the blog article on the Vocal Media Website or DejayeBotkin.org to learn how disenfranchised, lone-wolf individuals seeking belonging- may become easily radicalized once they feel attached to a fringe community.
This podcast will teach you how to avoid repeating dysfunctional patterns of coping with stressful events.
The podcast will help listeners understand their difficulties with relationships from an attachment style perspective. I will help listeners make necessary changes for reducing frantic reactions to love.
