God Attachment Healing
Hi everyone! Welcome to the God Attachment Healing Podcast. I'm your host, Sam Landa. This podcast is dedicated to Christians who want to understand why they relate to God in the way they do. I explore how our early childhood relationship with our parents--specifically with how they met or did not meet our needs--influences how we relate to ourselves, the church, and to God. Because much of the pains and struggles of life are intertwined in these three areas, I discuss with my guests how we can find healing from the pain, confusion, doubt, and anger experienced in these relationships. If you're interested in learning more about your attachment style and how to heal from the pain you’ve experienced in the relationships mentioned above, then this podcast is for you. Welcome to the show! I'm happy you're here!

Fan Mail
My name is Jamison, I found your podcast on anxious attachment and it’s really resonated with me. I recently got turned down by a girl I have had a crush on for a while and I’m struggling on seeing her only as a friend and letting go of my feelings, as I see her often at various church groups. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
