Episode 2: In this episode, we explore the anxious attachment style adaptation. I discuss how anxious attachment is often misunderstood and pigeonholed as being needy and clingy. I talk about how anxious attachment stems from growing up in an inconsistent or unpredictable environment, which fuels the desire for external relief and regulation. It's vital to understand the connection between attachment and the nervous system, and how shifting mindset alone is not enough to change attachment patterns. In order to shift you have to start learning how to take in more good and learn how to become attuned to the body as a way to move from an anxious attached state to a secure attached state.
