Do you know what your attachment style is?
In this week’s episode, Yancy discusses Attachment Theory with behavioural scientist and counsellor, Lucille Shackelton. The dive into its 4 distinct styles, and the sometimes uncomfortable questions it can invoke!
Attachment theory is founded on the idea that our caregiver-child relationship dynamics shape how we hold close intimate connections as adults. In essence: “your attachment style is a blueprint of your basic assumptions about safety and trust*.”
