And they attempt to soothe them and make the child feel better.

And what that conditions a child to believe at a very young age is my emotions are worthy of being seen and heard.

It's safe to rely on other people.

I can trust that people are going to be there for me.

And also I can communicate.

And almost most importantly, I am worthy of love as I am on my good days, on my bad days, in my good moments and in my hard moments.

And so there's a lot of really healthy conditioning that that child adopts.

And so, of course, that's the type of patterning they bring into their relationships as adults.

And what's really interesting to me is that securely attached people, they report not just having the longest lasting relationships, but they report the most satisfaction in their relationships.

And that's a very meaningful thing.

And I'm just a big believer in relationships.

I love people.

I care about people.

And I really think that relationships determine the quality of our life in so many ways.

And so that's very meaningful in terms of, you know, the stats on that.

And then we have three insecure attachment styles.

This makes up the other 50% or so of the population.

That's what I think all the time.

I always think that myself.

And to be honest, first of all, it's conditioning and we'll get into a lot of this, I'm sure, but conditioning changes.
