God as an Attachment Figure (A Personal Share)

What if your deepest sense of security didn’t come from a person…

but from something greater than yourself?

And what if the thing you rely on most to feel safe, certain, or fulfilled…

is quietly shaping your entire emotional life?

Episode Summary

In this video, Thais Gibson shares a deeply personal perspective on viewing God as an attachment figure and how this relationship can influence emotional stability, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

Through her own life experiences, Thais explains how building a relationship with a higher power helped her navigate uncertainty, regulate emotions, and create a sense of inner peace, even during challenging or unexpected life events.

A key insight from this episode is that we are always “worshipping” something whether it’s relationships, career success, validation, or control.

The challenge?

Anything in the material world has a shelf life:

Relationships can change

Careers can shift

External validation can disappear

When we attach our identity or emotional stability to these things, we become more vulnerable to stress, anxiety, and instability.

This video explores how anchoring your sense of meaning and fulfillment in something deeper can:

• Create emotional resilience

• Provide a stable sense of certainty and connection

• Reduce over-attachment to external outcomes

• Support long-term self-esteem and inner peace

You’ll also learn how this ties into the six basic human needs and why the way we meet those needs determines how secure or fragile we feel in life.

Finally, Thais invites you into a powerful question for reflection:

What are you worshipping and how is it shaping your life?
