About this episode

In this episode, I talk about attachment styles and how the core of secure attachment is the ability to trust love.

I discuss how the lack of attachment in my own childhood led to my sense of chronic alarm and the importance of attachment in my own healing from chronic anxiety and alarm, along with how developing a secure attachment to yourself is critical to the healing process.
