Passion Struck with John R. Miles · Why You Keep Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns | Adam Lane Smith - EP 782 · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

So I went into psychology.

I spent nine years becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist.

I worked with the most severe extreme trauma cases I could find because that fascinated me.

And what I found, whether it was working with millionaire trust fund families or blue collar families, was families didn't know how to connect anymore.

And I started studying that and it turned into this thing called attachment theory from the 1950s that almost no one wanted to talk about because it doesn't make you much money because there's no drugs or medications related to it.

So I started pulling that out and dusting that off.

I started pulling that and synthesizing attachment theory with hormone research from experts like Dr. Sue Carter about oxytocin and vasopressin, bonding hormones that we need and cutting edge psychology models, but also

neuro-linguistic models and brain changing models as well from Dr. Caroline Leaf about how you remap brain pathways.

And I synthesized all those together into something called attachment science.

And now to me, this answers the question of why families are falling apart, why dating is broken, why divorce rates are through the roof.

why depression rates and loneliness rates are so catastrophic, why drug addictions are so prevalent.

Everything is coming out.

We also know that this is related to fertility issues, heart attacks, cancer, stroke, insomnia, autoimmune disorders, immune system non-functioning, all kinds of other issues, human growth, hormone deficiencies, everything is mapping out our relationship.

So when I say it's not just random chaos, we mean it.

It's relationship issues.

I get that a lot.

Absolutely.

Our family of origin maps out how we are going to function.

So our caregivers train us to understand, are people going to care about us and meet our needs?

Or are we not worthy of that?
