REBOOT Chapter 6: Adulthood

On the uses and abuses of technology in intimate relationships

Is technology a third wheel in your relationship? How does it come into the interactions between you? Does it help, or does it get in the way?

This week, speaker and author Elaine Kasket is in conversation with Kara Fletcher about technology-related issues in couples relationships and the connection between tech use and attachment styles.

Attachment styles are patterns of relating and responding in relationships, and they include secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganised. While there’s not a straight line from infant/childhood attachment and adult attachment patterns — a lot of things can influence our reactions and responses in relationship — there’s a significant correlation.
