Ep.1653: Healing and Hope Ep.1654: Rules of Attachment Wednesday, April 10, 2024

Kathryn interviews Author Sarah Cart.In suspenseful and heart-rending detail, Sarah Cart recounts how, beginning with an incurable autoimmune disease, her husband developed one life-threatening condition after another. As each month passed, she felt her best friend, this brilliant businessman, successful entrepreneur, and energetically engaged father to their four sons, slipping away, until eventually they received devastating news: Ben needed a heart transplant. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. Two weeks after the COVID-19 lockdown, they realized Ben’s body was shutting down and his only hope was to get on the list and get that transplant now—in the midst of a pandemic. Thrust into the role of nurse and caregiver, she required a deep well of faith and grace as she confronted doubts, fears, endless setbacks, and red tape while struggling to help Ben regain whatever he could of all that had been lost.Kathryn also interviews Author Dr. Judy Ho.Attachment style forms the foundation for how we understand trust, security, and build our self-concept and self-esteem, which then affects how we achieve goals, approach physical and mental wellness, and how we relate to friends, family, colleagues and romantic partners. Triple board-certified clinical and forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho reveals how insecure attachment style—which affects up to 75% of the population—impacts our lives more than we realize, and how we can heal the wounds that prevent us from living our best lives at any age. Grounded in the science of attachment, she offers a revolutionary approach that teaches readers how to change their anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment style in relationships, friendships, work, goal-setting, and most of all, our sense of self. She is a tenured Associate Professor at Pepperdine University and a two-time recipient of the National Institute of Mental Health Services Research Award.
