Join the hosts of House on Fire as we close out our discussion on attachment with good humor, personal anecdotes, and a bit of skill-building! Bringing some DBT into the mix, we address the parallels between each attachment style and DBT's three states of mind: wise mind, reasonable mind, and emotion mind. A balance between logic and emotions is what we're after, and this episode is all about HOW to own one's attachment style effectively. Let's find wise mind together, and embrace our emotions while honoring logic in our own interpersonal relationships.
