#398 - How to Self-Soothe Anxious Attach...

DR. LISA MARIE BOBBY
About this episode

When you have an anxious attachment style, it's hard to feel secure in your most important relationships. But learning how to self-soothe anxious attachment and create a stronger relationship with yourself can be the path to emotional freedom. 

On today's episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, we're discussing how you can stop relying on the people around you to regulate your anxiety, and learn to manage anxious feelings internally. This not only helps you have better relationships, it makes you stronger, happier, and more resilient. 

My guest is attachment expert Thais Gibson, a counselor, YouTuber, and founder of the Personal Development School. Thais shared some eye-opening insights in this episode that you won't want to miss! 

You'll learn: 

  • 00:00 Introduction to Attachment Theory
  • 08:19 Thais' Background and Interest in Attachment Theory
  • 16:21 Understanding Attachment Styles
  • 28:15 The Danger of Pathologizing Attachment Styles
  • 33:51 The Impact of Attachment Styles on Relationships
  • 39:11 Strategies for Healing Attachment Wounds
  • 41:15 Reprogramming Core Wounds
  • 45:40 The Power of Auto-Suggestion

And so much more. I hope you'll tune in!

xoxo, 

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
