In this episode, the first in a series on attachment, I explore what our attachment is, why it matters and how complex trauma impacts these.

I'll also help you understand the main attachment adaptations and their common behaviours to help you identify these in yourself. I encourage you to look at your own attachment patterns with curiosity and compassion to be able to increase your self-awareness and begin to change them - if you wish.
