On today’s episode we welcome Kyle Benson. Kyle writes at the KyleBenson.net, where he uses science and life experiences to help those in troubled relationships get the love, respect and passion they dream of.

In today’s episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

  • How attachment styles affect relationships.
  • How to identify your attachment style.
  • How to deal with the anxious-avoidant downward spiral.
  • Tools to become more secure in your relationship.
  • How to own your neediness.
  • And much more!
