#18 - Attachment Theory and your Health (Part 1 of 4)

Dive into "Attachment Theory and Your Health," where I uncover how early bonds shape our emotional and physical well-being. Starting with John Bowlby's innovative ideas, I explore the roots of attachment theory and its pivotal role in defining our relationships. Learn about the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized—and their profound effects on our health. Why does this matter? Understanding your attachment style can illuminate paths to better stress management, improved relationships, and overall mental health. I'll guide you through introspective questions tailored to each attachment style, designed to foster self-awareness and healing in your interpersonal connections. Join me for a journey to deeper self-understanding and healthier living, all through the lens of attachment theory. QUIZES - Crowell, Judith & Owens, Gretchen. (1996).
