Understanding Attachment Styles, Self-Worth, and Healthy Relationships with Claire Welton

In this episode, we explore the deep connection between childhood attachment styles and the way we navigate adult relationships. From the importance of self-worth and open communication to the realities of modern dating, this conversation offers both practical tools and emotional insight.

Claire Welton, Ed.D, PLPC — a former school counselor turned clinical therapist — shares her journey of transitioning into private practice during the pandemic, and what she’s learned about healing, identity, and emotional connection along the way.

We break down the four core attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant) and how they show up in our friendships, romantic relationships, and even our self-talk. Claire also opens up about the impact of generational trauma, how to define your values in your twenties and beyond, and why knowing who you are outside of a title or relationship is vital.

If you're currently dating, you'll love the practical advice Claire shares — including details on her Solo to Soulmate workshop, which helps singles create aligned dating profiles that reflect who they truly are.

Whether you're in a relationship, healing from one, or figuring out who you want to be, this episode is filled with clarity, compassion, and powerful perspective shifts.
