S2.E15. Relationships, Intimacy, & Trauma

Anne and Alison talk to relationship expert Jayson Gaddis on his path to healing his childhood wounds through the teachings of his romantic relationships. He shares the moment he stopped viewing himself as the victim in his failed relationships and started to take ownership of his life and responsibility for his growth. He's creating a relational world in which people care how their actions impact the way people feel. It's a world we want to live in! 

We discuss attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, secure), Buddhism/Naropa University, childhood emotional neglect, healing, intimacy, relationships, and friendships, and end with the feelings wheel game.

Jayson Gaddis is an artist, author, podcaster, speaker, executive coach, CEO, founder, human behavior specialist and relationship expert. He is the creator of Interpersonal Intelligence® and Present Centered Relationship Coaching® and has trained over 200 coaches in 11 countries. His book Getting to Zero: How to Work Through Conflict In Your High Stakes Relationships was voted Editors Choice, Best Non-fiction, and Best Leadership and Business Book in 2021 on Amazon. He’s been married to his amazing wife since 2007 and has two beautiful kids. They live in Boulder, Colorado. When he doesn’t live and breathe this relationship stuff with his family, he pretty much gets his ass handed to him.
