EP 108: Fearful Avoidant Attachment Styl...

DR. MORGAN ANDERSON
About this episode

In today’s episode I revisit one of your favorite topics: ATTACHMENT THEORY. 

 

This episode is long overdue as it dedicated to the exploration of Fearful Avoidant Attachment (aka Disorganized Attachment)

 

This attachment style impacts approximately 5-7% of the population; and it is incredibly valuable to understand it. 

 

In this episode: 

  • W define what exactly Fearful Avoidant Attachment is. 
  • We discuss why disorganized attachment is the most painful attachment style. 
  • We unpack the origins of disorganized attachment. 

And so much more!
