Eli is absolutely brilliant and finds a way of relating complex aspects of attachment theory into everyday life experiences. Love this podcast as a parent and as a clinician!
I’ve just listened to my first episode & it was excellent! So informative! Eli speaks concisely & with expertise.
I listen to a lot of podcasts & this is amongst the best I’ve heard.
I will be listening to much more from her!
Thank you, Eli!!!
Eli has a way of educating that feels grounded and warm. The concrete and nuanced examples and scenarios are so helpful. The way she goes the extra distance in explaining different paths of navigating emotions and needs - both for me as a parent and then how I can specifically translate that in a developmentally appropriate way to my children is pure gold and applicable. There isn’t another public resource I’ve found that does it this well outside of private therapy services.
I love everything Attachment Nerd does. Her content and work is incredibly helpful and validating and I could not recommend her enough.
I love the podcast! It is helpful and, best of all, down to earth/real. Information we can all trust and use with our kids. Eli is the best!
