This week’s guest lives and breathes Attachment Theory. In today’s show, I am thrilled for him to share how our early-learned blueprint for relating impacts our adult relationships and even our relationship with God. Krispin Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice in Oregon, where he and his wife live with their two children. Trained in attachment-based emotionally focused therapy, Krispin has served for over ten years in church-based trauma recovery programs. In his writing, podcasting, and speaking, Krispin explores the integration of faith and psychology.

In our time together, Krispin helps us explore what the four main attachment styles are, how these styles impact our adult romantic relationships, and how they impact our relationship with God. Krispin also helps us understand how we might move toward experiencing a more secure attachment with God. So often, how we relate to God has much more to do with an insecure attachment we experienced early in life and much less to do with the true character of God and the beauty revealed in Jesus.

My hope is that today your eyes might be opened to how you might connect more deeply with others in your life. I also hope that any untrue ideas about the Divine might fall away, so you might experience the true beauty of God and connect more deeply with Him.
