Applying Emotional Intelligence To Attachment Theory with Steven Seva Roland

Spinning out of control into attachment wounding or trauma responses is painful and difficult. Our mind panics, we start grasping at straws, and even tend to blame others for our pain. Emotional intelligence invites us to slow down and get to the bottom of what's true and real, free from distortion and projection. When we spiralling into a pain response, it's hard to make sense of reality. Our nervous system and brain is activated in "fix things now" mode, and will often go to unsupportive mechanisms like protest behaviour or deactivating strategies in order to do it. EQ provides us with a frame work to help us regulate our nervous system, create inner clarity and stability, as well as transcend our unhealthy attachment behaviour.
