What Psychology and Faith Teach About Connection

In this episode, Alveena explores how the way we love and connect with others begins in childhood. Drawing on attachment theory and faith, she explains how early relationships shape our ability to trust, handle emotions, and experience safety in adulthood.

She reflects on her own story, from childhood moments of feeling unseen to learning how those patterns show up later in life.

Perfect for anyone interested in understanding attachment, emotional safety, or how faith and psychology can guide healing.
