Why do smart, self-aware people still fall apart in love? In this episode of The Voyage Cast, Eddie Eccker unpacks the science and soul behind attachment theory — the hidden blueprint shaping how we connect, disconnect, and panic in relationships.

You’ll learn:

  • The four attachment styles and how they show up in real life
  • How anxious and avoidant partners trigger each other’s fears
  • What the nervous system has to do with your love life
  • Practical paths for healing and building secure connection
  • Journal prompts and reflective tools to begin changing old relational patterns

If you’ve ever wondered why you shut down, lash out, or cling too tightly — this conversation is for you. This isn’t therapy, but it’s help beyond the office.
