Today we are excited to welcome Dr. Jamie DeLuna back to the podcast for more conversation about adult attachment. For many years, Jamie was a research scientist for TCU’s Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development who specialized in administering and the Adult Attachment Interview. Dr. DeLuna has administered thousands of interviews and she speaks with so much wisdom and nuance on the topic of adult attachment. Jamie recently moved into a new role outside of the institute, but she was kind enough to join us for two more episodes. Today you’ll hear a conversation about dismissive attachment, and then next week we’ll continue with a conversation about ambivalent attachment.
