In love and in friendship: Are you anxious? Avoidant? Anxious AND avoidant!? Or are you normal? Le sigh.. In this episode, listen as two valley girls explore the psychological topic of attachment theory. Many of us have been exposed to this theory in Psych 101 and perhaps briefly thought to ourselves "hmm.. I'm kind of fucked up..." and then quickly moved on to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs or something..
In this episode, we've gone back in to talk about what determines the way we attach to the people in our lives and how our different attachment styles show up in our love relationships. We've found that in doing so we gain a level of self-awareness that can help us to move away from our destructive attachment patterns and towards building healthier new ones. Sophie and Rayna discuss each of the four attachment styles, and then proceed to self-diagnose (which is always a fun activity!). And just for shits and giggles we attempt to diagnose our fearless leader and commander in chief with the attachment style that best fits everything we know about him. Not sure if its necessary to mention or not but we are valley girls (not experts) and this episode is purely for fun and personal, self-exploration purposes.
