- What anxious attachment is, what can cause it, and how it viscerally feels when this attachment style is activated and the nervous system is dysregulated
- The concept of ‘freedom’ and the role this plays in relationships and love
- The polarities of interdependence and independence, and how anxiously attached people have to work on bringing the focus back to themselves, to cultivate the latter
- The power of validating yourself and your feelings, and the importance of asking directly for what you need
- How even when dating and in the early stages of a relationship, it’s important to call out any blocks to intimacy or things that may prevent a healthy relationship
- Tools and methods you can use to start healing your attachment system, including somatic practices, improving your nutrition, meditation and more.
