Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

"It’s not about fixing yourself, because you're not broken. It's about understanding why you react the way you do and learning to respond differently."

What is Disorganized Attachment Style and how do you heal from it?

Hey Besties! Today's episode is a much requested deep dive into disorganized attachment, otherwise known as fearful avoidant. I used to be wired this way, and I want to help our fellow besties to get some clarity and finally heal this pattern so you can be just like me - Happily engaged, in a healthy and secure relationship at last!

But it wasn't easy. And that's why I developed some helpful and effective strategies over the years so you won't have to go through what I did. Listen in as we explore the signs of this attachment style, why it happens, some very interesting historical facts and how to heal these toxic patterns using our Feel, Heal, Attract System.

Put your headphones on and enjoy this value-packed episode!
