Healing begins when we learn to understand, not judge, the parts of ourselves that seek comfort, connection, and control.

In this episode of The Moon Collective Sanctuary Podcast, Dr. Lydia Luna, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and founder of The Moon Collective Sanctuary, speaks with Patricia Marucci, LMFT, about how early attachment styles shape our relationships with people, our bodies, and even food.

Patricia shares her personal and professional insights on how anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns can lead to disordered eating, addiction, or emotional disconnection and how awareness, compassion, and body-based regulation support healing.

Grounded in both science and self-compassion, this conversation invites listeners to explore how understanding attachment can guide us from survival toward secure connection.

In This Episode, They:

• Explore how attachment styles develop and shift over time.
  
  
  
• Examine how anxious, avoidant, and disorganized patterns influence relationships, food, and the body.
  
  
  
• Discuss how addiction and eating disorders can emerge from unmet attachment needs.
  
  
  
• Highlight the role of somatic awareness and nervous-system regulation in healing.
  
  
  
• Share compassionate practices to move from survival toward secure connection.
  
  
  

Whether you’re a clinician, a seeker, or someone curious about the science of connection, this episode provides insight, empathy, and tools to better understand the body–mind relationship at the heart of healing.
