Bev’s Personal Journey
Growing up in an unpredictable and chaotic environment, Bev never knew if she could rely on her parents to meet her emotional needs. This uncertainty led her to absorb unhealthy relationship patterns, believing love was meant to be unbalanced, uncertain, and chaotic. If you’ve ever struggled with insecure attachment, her story will resonate with you. Today, Bev helps others break free from these patterns and build secure, fulfilling relationships.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
✅ Attachment theory affects everyone—our relationship patterns stem from childhood experiences.
✅ Your attachment style is learned, not genetic—you can change it!
✅ Emotional attunement in parenting is key to raising emotionally healthy children.
✅ Unresolved childhood wounds impact self-worth and intimacy in adult relationships.
✅ Secure attachment leads to healthier relationships, better communication, and deeper connections.
✅ Meditation, self-awareness, and somatic work help regulate the nervous system and foster emotional security.

About Bev Mitelman
As a child, Bev lived in a very unpredictable and chaotic environment where she never knew if she could rely on her parents to meet her emotional needs. This led her to absorb unhealthy relationship ideas based on what she was witnessing: she believed relationships were supposed to be unbalanced, uncertain, and overall chaotic. If you have an insecure attachment style, you probably relate to her experience, and navigating relationships can be particularly difficult for you.
Prior to becoming a Certified Attachment Practitioner and founding Securely Loved, Bev was an Executive Leader, University Lecturer and published author, having obtained her Masters’ Degree in 2006. She has dedicated her entire career (25+ years) working with adults in the realm of personal growth and professional development.
