RUMP Rewind – Ep.62 - Attachment Theory: How better understanding our attachment style can transform our relationships | Sarah McConnell and Helene Igwebuike
Thu Feb 05 2026
Old fave – new intro! Therapists Sarah McConnell and Helene Igwebuike joined us last Jan for a brilliant chat about Attachment Theory.
We dive into what it means to feel securely attached and what it’s like when you don’t. They break down how we form and manage attachments in all kinds of relationships – whether it’s with a partner, family, or friends. And how, by understanding our own attachment style, we can improve these connections and make a huge difference to our overall well-being.
You can also join Gwen and Kate as they try (with varying degrees of success) to connect with their inner child.
Sarah and Helene specialise in Emotionally Focused Therapy. You can find out more about this, as well as find registered therapists, at the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Centre.

To journal on the 12 Questions that Gwen asks Kate in the intro, visit Beth Kempton's Substack post.
