Does Your Attachment Style Impact Your Relationship With God?

Season 1 · Episode 9

Wednesday, January 29, 2025 • Duration 27:40

Summary
In this episode of the Faith Filled Therapy podcast, Jo Hargreaves explores the concept of attachment styles and their impact on our relationship with God. She discusses the importance of feeling safe and loved in forming healthy attachments and how our early relational experiences shape our connections with others and with God. Jo outlines the four main attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized, and provides insights on how to cultivate a secure attachment with God through practices such as prayer, scripture reading, and community support. The episode emphasizes the redeemable nature of our attachment styles and encourages listeners to look to God for consistent love and support.

Takeaways

Attachment styles influence our relationship with God.
Feeling safe and loved is essential for healthy attachments.
Secure attachment develops from consistent and nurturing caregivers.
Anxious attachment leads to hyper-vigilance and fear of abandonment.
Avoidant attachment results in discomfort with intimacy and self-reliance.
Disorganized attachment stems from trauma and leads to confusion about needs.
Understanding our attachment styles can help us relate better to God.
We can earn a secure attachment through consistent relationships.
God provides the consistent love we need for secure attachment.
Practices like prayer and community can help cultivate a secure attachment.

Bible Verses on Feeling Safe and Loved by God

Romans 8:38-39 – "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Isaiah 41:10 – "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Psalm 91:4 – "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

The God Given Power Of Self Reflection

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, December 23, 2024 • Duration 23:07

In this episode of The Faith Filled Therapy Pod, I dive into the transformative power of reflection for personal and spiritual growth.

We will explore how intentional moments of looking back not only help us grow but also impact our brains in powerful ways. I share insights from neuroscience to show how reflection strengthens our neural pathways and helps us process emotions and experiences more deeply.

We also turn to scripture, looking at how biblical principles encourage us to pause, remember, and learn from our journey. Reflection isn't just about the past—it's a God-given tool for shaping who we become.

Reframing, Rewiring And Renewing The Romans 12:2 Way

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 • Duration 23:44

The episode explores how our daily stream of 60,000–70,000 thoughts, 80% of which are often negative and repetitive, can be reframed through scripture.

It covers the power of replacing limiting beliefs with scriptural truths like Philippians 4:13, demonstrating how this can reshape neural pathways and promote mental well-being.

I link neuroplasticity to spiritual practices, explaining how meditation on scripture and prayer impact the brain, reduce stress, and foster a renewed mindset in line with Romans 12:2. Practical steps are provided to implement this daily.

If you would like to join the Faith Filled Collective Community then you can find out more here

In this second episode of The Faith Filled Therapy Podcast I talk the threat response, namely Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn.

I of course mention my disco ball diffuser and talk about what I am diffusing today. Link to the diffuser below

Disco Ball Diffuser

I chat about why I swore in the church car park and how in no way do I want to justify my behaviour, however there is power in understanding ourselves and why we react the way we do. You can read that post here:
As well as touching on the subject of dissociation which you can read about here in a free PDF resource I have created for my listners.

Here are some of the scriptures I used:

Bible Verses for Grounding and Safety

Psalm 46:1-3
Isaiah 41:10
Philippians 4:6-7
Romans 8:38-39
1 John 4:18

Here are some studies on the power of feeling safe and loved:

Porges, S. W. (2009). "The Polyvagal Theory: New insights into adaptive reactions of the autonomic nervous system." This foundational work by Stephen Porges explains how social interactions and feelings of safety can activate the parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

On Science, Scripture and the Brain Changing Power of Gratitude

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, June 3, 2024 • Duration 20:21

In this first episode of The Faith Filled Therapy Podcast I talk about how I love to work from the intersection of therapy and theology and why I believe that a holistic approach to wholeness and well-being is Biblical.

I talk about my disco ball diffuser which you can get here if that's your thing:

https://amzn.eu/d/bC773WQ

This episode includes a brief look at the link between CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and how the Apostle Paul was ahead of the game when he wrote Romans 12:2

I reference some studies on the power of positive thinking and why this is an ancient practice grounded in scripture, specifically Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.

For those of you who love to dig deeper...

Neuroplasticity and Positive Thinking: Positive thinking enhances neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganise and form new neural connections. This capability is essential for adapting to new experiences and learning. Techniques like mindfulness and positive affirmations can alter brain activity, promoting a more resilient and positive mindset (MentalHelp.net) (Psychology Today).
