10: ...I Have Commitment Issues, Let's Chat, Attachment Styles
Raise your hand, if you’ve got commitment issues or have the tendency to be passive-aggressive in your relationships. Well, we have the perfect episode for you. This week, Zuri is talking about attachment theory (her favorite topic!) with licensed mental health therapist, Alyssa ‘Lia’ Mancao, and they're digging deep into the four different attachment types, how to discover which one you are, how our childhood/young adult years shape us, and why it truly matters.
REAL COUPLE, REAL STORY.
Next up, Z has an honest, hilarious, and very vulnerable chat with a real-life couple, who have opposite attachment styles (anxious + avoidant). Newlyweds, Ashlee + Jason open to Zuri about how they’ve navigated from anxious/avoidant styles to a secure place, and they are revealing how they got to such a happy place in their relationship.
