#186: Lisa Scott — Attachment Styles: Anxious Attachment, Fearful-Avoidant Attachment, Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment, and Secure Attachment

This episode is not an interview. So, here is the backstory. In the second week of April 2021, I was feeling deep emotional pain and heartache. I’ve been in the process of understanding and uncovering my own childhood issues and trauma. I had heard Gabor Mate and other Legendaries mention parent-child attachments during early years and how it shapes our relationships with ourselves and with others when we grow older. I searched “attachment” on Spotify and this new podcast from Lisa Scott popped up. As I started listening—I was completely thrilled and it resonated with me so much that I could go back (in my mind) to my childhood and see some deep things with less resistance and better clarity. I reached out to Lisa Scott and asked her to publish her attachment series on this podcast. This series has 4 parts: anxious, fearful-avoidant, dismissive-avoidant, and secure attachment
