What has your ex taught you?

mercredi 24 septembre 2025 • Durée 47:06

Welcome back to The Psychology Sisters unfiltered, where we chat all things being human, with a mix of clinical insight, real talk, and a few chaotic tangents.

We share our loves and leaves, pits and peeks and everything in between for the week that has been!

Aimz is loving a lot lately with: A journal called "Dad, I want to hear your story" I got this from big W!! It’s 300 thought-provoking questions and prompts designed to draw out your father's stories to encourage your dad to share and preserve his life story.

And running shorts from lulu lemon - Translucent 2-in-1 High-Rise Short 3"

Leave: I want to leave behind the narrative that my body must look a certain way to deserve certain clothes. The belief that certain body types qualify certain clothes.

Kat is leaving behind winter!

Kat is loving the podcast hosted by Georgia Love "Everyone has an Ex" which has prompted our first conversation for this episode!!

In today’s episode, we’re exploring what our past relationships have taught us and how powerful reflecting on your ex’s can be!

What is the Disorganised Attachment Style?

mardi 16 septembre 2025 • Durée 36:21

Howdy friends! Welcome back for another deep dive.

We will be discussing the lesser known attachment style today, around 5% of people have a disorganised attachment.

A disorganised attachment is an adaptation that stems from childhood trauma, it’s like having a compass that points north and south at the same time. Every step toward love feels like danger, and every step away feels like loss.

This attachment style begins in childhood, where love and fear are tangled together, when the caregiver we run to for safety is also the one we fear and at times even hurts us. As adults, this can leave us caught in a painful push–pull: craving closeness yet retreating when it arrives.

In this episode, we’re exploring disorganised attachment tracing its roots in early relationships, understanding how it shows up in our adult lives, and sharing practical insights to begin orientating back to security. Because even when our compass feels broken, there is a path back to safety, trust, and connection.

Raising Securely Attached Children

mercredi 20 août 2025 • Durée 40:41

Welcome back to a Psychology Mama's episode!!

– What is Secure Attachment?

A securely attached child is free to explore the environment, confident that the caregiver will be available and responsive if needed.

Secure attachment is not about being perfect; it’s about being present, attuned, and repairing when things go wrong

Attachment is a basis for a child’s health. Nourishing close secure attachment with adults is a protective factor for our child’s health and well-being and a developmental basis for child development.

A secure attachment allows our children to be their full expression of self and explore the world with confidence, because they have a safe enough base to return to.

– The Core Ingredients

Emotional attunement: reading and responding to your child’s cues.
Consistency: being reliable without being perfect.
Presence and quality Vs quantity
Safe exploration: balancing independence and protection.
Repair after rupture: modelling how to come back together after conflict.

– Practical Tips

what supports security?
Simple rituals that build connection.

Unfiltered - Our top 3 business lessons

mercredi 30 juillet 2025 • Durée 52:09

Hello and welcome back to The Psychology Sisters Unfiltered!!

Love and leaves
Love – Carmen’s black truffle popcorn Leaves Dyson vacuums

Aimee's peek: time with family and friends lately and pit: experiencing social awkwardness and anxiety, which is very new and uncharted waters to navigate. In a clunky stage of life at the moment!! Also, illness has plagued me!

Kat's pit: slapped in the face with sneaky burn out that crept up. Struggling with motivation, exhaustion, struggling to show up for work and life and not prepared for the busyness of work. Doing a lot of inner work to let go of perfectionism and high expectations. Peek: giving myself permission to not please, to honour the parts of me that need aloneness and disconnection to fill my cup. It has been healing to let go and disconnect.

In celebration of our 5 year business anniversary, we are sharing Our top business lessons!

1. Communication is key and own your mistakes. Accountability is leadership. Owning your mistakes doesn’t make you less professional, it makes you trustworthy. It signals to your clients, your team, and your community that you’re human, that you care, and that you’re willing to do better. The truth is, your clients, and your community feel safer around someone who can own their impact.

Being direct, firm, assertive and honest in communication. Being able to trust and rely on other people to hand over control. Reliability is SO important.

2. People will judge you - do it anyway! The simple truth is that people will judge you, however, when we are led by fear of judgement we restrict our own growth and prevent ourselves from taking opportunities. The purpose is not to be universally liked, it's to take the opportunity whether you're liked or not.

You take back your power when you stop trying to please everyone and connect to vulnerability.

3.Time is your greatest commodity and resource, protect it! Your time is sacred, audit your calendar like your life depends on it. Giving away your time without intention is like stealing from your own business. Boundaries are a practice of self-respect.

If you want to go fast go alone - if you want to go far, go together

The Avoidant Attachment Style - Learning to stay when it feels safer to leave

mercredi 23 juillet 2025 • Durée 36:53

Love me, but from over there - The Avoidant attachment style

I want to send out a hopeful message to everyone listening – you have secure attachment in your system biologically. It’s in your system and your system wants to be connected, that’s what it’s wired for. It’s that throughout development stuff get’s dumped on your system, which interrupts this. Wounds, attachment injuries, trauma disconnects us and our system wants us to return to security.

People use different language for attachment style which can be confusing so, were going to refer to the avoidant attachment style today – can also be referred to as the dismissive avoidant, insecure, fearful avoidant etc.

How it develops

The avoidant attachment develops through absenteeism – it’s a message of “nobodies there”. Think of a vacant, dissociated parent – a child might be trying to find their parents eyes staring at them and there’s nobody home! Which is scary for infants who are 100% dependant on their parents!
I also want to add that sometimes it’s not just the parenting of the child – sometimes it’s a medical procedure or an illness, maybe there was birth trauma or the parent is unwell – different factors can come in here. Any parents listening please take the burden to be perfect off your shoulders, we only need 30% attunement for secure attachment and it is a very forgiving system.

Another way it can show up is when only left-brain activities are responded to – so whenever there is a learning of a skill, or an achievement in some way they were there, but whenever it was emotional or there was a need for comforting, they weren’t available enough.

So, what this means is there sense of self is largely felt as isolated and they tend to regulate through dissociative mechanisms like zoning out to Netflix because they have a knee – jerk reaction to withdraw and a stress on connection.

If you’re an avoidant you need time to surface to connection – it’s like you’ve been deep deep diving in the ocean and if you come up too quick you get the bends, so when I’m working with couples sometimes I’ll ask how much time they need to re-surface or what helps them come up slowly, because it’s hard to go from deep deep isolation to connection.

Avoidance is a deep withdrawal that has helped them survive – it doesn’t mean they want to be alone. And often when an avoidant starts to connect to the longing of connection, it’s incredibly painful, that’s also our secure attachment surfacing!

The truth about sleep deprivation

mercredi 9 juillet 2025 • Durée 46:35

Welcome back to The Psychology Mama’s — the podcast that holds space for your full emotional spectrum and cheers you on when you finally drink a coffee while it’s still hot.

Today, we’re diving into one of the most universal yet wildly under-discussed parts of early parenthood: sleep deprivation — or more accurately, the full-blown nervous system crisis that comes from being woken up every 90 minutes by a tiny dictator in a Bonds onesie.

We’re talking about how a lack of sleep messes with your brain, your emotions, your sense of self, and sometimes your sanity. We’ll also unpack the mental load of new parenthood — the identity shifts, the rage-crying, the pressure to enjoy every moment while hallucinating from exhaustion.

And of course, we’ll wade into the murky, guilt-soaked waters of the sleep training industry — the conflicting research, the polarising opinions, and why it can feel like everyone’s an expert except the person actually doing the 3am rocking.

This one’s for the parents, the therapists supporting them, and anyone wondering why “just sleep when the baby sleeps” might be the most unhelpful advice of all time.

So, grab a snack, lie down if you can, and let’s get into it.

Unfiltered - when it all feels like a lot + the power of going soft

mercredi 25 juin 2025 • Durée 53:41

Welcome back to The Psychology Sisters unfiltered, where we chat all things being human, with a mix of clinical insight, real talk, and a few chaotic tangents.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring something that feels especially needed right now: softness. What does it mean to go soft in a world that’s constantly asking us to toughen up, keep going, and stay informed, even when it all feels like a lot?

We start with what it means to feel alive, not just functioning, but actually alive in your body, your joy, and your presence.

Then we dive into the weirdness of the current world climate — from global conflict to digital burnout — and how to look after yourself without disconnecting entirely.

And finally, we unpack the Soft Girl Era, not as an aesthetic, but as a nervous system rebellion. Resting, feeling, slowing down, and saying no?

That’s the real power move.

So, if you’ve been feeling flat, frantic, or just deeply tired — this one’s for you.

Can you "fix" an Anxious Attachment?

jeudi 12 juin 2025 • Durée 48:21

In today’s episode we are diving deep into the ambivalent attachment style, where it comes from, how it shows up in your relationships and how you can start rewiring it.

If you often feel like you’re too much and not enough or constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop in relationships, this one is for you.

Understanding Attachment:

o Attachment is a biological system, its innate.
o Attachment is developed within relationships
o People with adverse childhood experiences, experience higher levels or incidences of insecure/anxious attachment.
o Internal working models (blueprint)- patterns of relating are internalised = how we relate to others.
We have a pro-social system – our system wants to return to secure attachment so it’s possible for everyone.
Attachment styles are designed to; maximise available care provided by the caregiver and limit the level of distress.

We dive into the following:

The Ambivalant Attachment Style develops when there is inconsistency in the way the caregiver responds to the child.

The Fear of Being Left
•How it shows up in adult relationships
•The loop: fear > control > guilt > shame

Rewiring & Repair

Nervous system!!!
-Corrective experience of being present with love and connection
-Secure attachment rituals – e.g. before bed connection and rituals because that can be a separation too. Greetings!! Our systems are delicate and responsive and that’s a strength too
-Learn how to make requests in a positive way (no shame/blame)
-The story I’m telling myself about being unloveable
-Notice caring behaviours without deflection

Unfiltered - should you track your partners phone?

jeudi 5 juin 2025 • Durée 25:04

hello psychology sistas and mistas!! Welcome back to another unfiltered episode!

Kat's pit was forgetting to press record on the first episode we recorded!! Her Peek is taking herself out on dates and having treats with herself, savouring being in her own company and loving time with herself.

Aimee's pit was also being a tech tragic! Aimee share's her LOVE for the week is Siren's on Netflix and organising her phone notifications so she is less interrupted and more focused.

Is it OK to track my partner’s phone?

Care vs. control
When it might feel justifiable
The emotional cost of surveillance
Trust
Tech, boundaries, and healthy communication

Catch-up friends

A reflection on how friendships today are often built on updates instead of shared moments — and how that shapes connection, loneliness, and meaning.

Why is it easier to catch up than to connect?
The role of effort and planning in adult friendships
What would it look like to make “new memories” this week?

We hope you love this episode!!
