TARYN NEWTON-GILL

DATING & ATTACHMENT COACH

Truer Love was born out of my own struggle, confusion, and pain around love (both self-love and romantic love) as it turns out the two are inextricably linked. After most of my romantic ventures ended with me

crying my eyes out to Ben Harper’s Cruel World album whilst cradling a bottle of Cabernet, I sensed that I was missing something. But what was that “something"?

Fast-forward to now, where I am married to a man so perfect for me I couldn’t have dreamt him up if I tried. But he didn’t magically take shape as I peered into a distant sunset, or bump into me in a meet-cute from a Hollywood romcom.

I was only able to recognize him as the gem he is after my therapist pointed out how my anxious attachment style was keeping me from creating a secure romantic relationship. By understanding this shadow, I was able to realize that my now husband is everything I always wanted but never knew.

Today, I teach people on the search for real, lasting love how to attract and maintain secure, happy, lasting relationships by understanding how their own attachment patterns are keeping them stuck in relationships that—let’s be honest— aren’t really going anywhere, and to reprogram their love mindset to knowing that they are capable and deserving of the most magical love there is.

If knowledge is power, then it follows that knowledge also empowers. It is my hope that our work at Truer Love will empower you to trust + love yourself so that you can create the kind of love that you truly deserve — one with someone who is present, committed, and emotionally available.

A love that surpasses everything you ever dreamed of because it’s REAL.

This, to me, is the power of truer love.

WHAT IS

ATTACHMENT THEORY?

Attachment Theory is known as the Science of Love.

It explains the different ways that people bond in intimate relationships and sheds light on why particular dynamics are more challenging or easier than others.

Attachment Theory posits that feeling close to or attached to significant people in our lives, particularly parent-child relationships and lovers or partners, is a survival mechanism, and therefore elicits very primal feelings or triggers when we feel that bond or relationship is being threatened.

Our attachment style speaks to the way in which we attach, a strategy we typically picked up in our early years by whomever our regular (or sometimes absent) caregiver was. These strategies tend to stick with us throughout life, though they can change with the introduction of important relationships, and even flux between relationships depending on the other person’s attachment style.

I work with women to heal the wounds they picked up in childhood that have been keeping them from experiencing healthy, lasting love and reprogram the way they attach so that they are able to attract the secure and loving partner they long for — and deserve.
