Attachment Theory Explained: The Beginner's Guide to All 4 Styles

What's up, everyone! I'm Chelsea, and I am so excited that you're here for my VERY FIRST EPISODE of The Attachment Confessions!!

Attachment science changed my life...for real, you guys. 

"Hey Chels – what the heck is attachment science??"

GREAT QUESTION! In episode 1, I'm giving you all the down-low on attachment theory. Who came up with it, when it was introduced. You know, the history stuff!

Then, we'll dive into the science-y stuff. I'll give you the scoop on the 4 attachment styles – the Anxious Preoccupied (AP), the Dismissive Avoidant (DA), the Fearful Avoidant (FA), and the Securely Attached (whom we all aspire to be!).

We'll chat through how each attachment style is formed, their main attachment wounds, their biggest needs in a relationship, and some of the pros/cons of their behavior. More than likely, you'll quickly recognize yourself in one of these four attachment styles. Still on the fence? Take best-selling author, counselor, and personal development leader Thais Gibson's free quiz:

Once you've got your personal attachment style nailed down, DM me which one you are on Instagram @theattachmentconfessions – Having an understanding of my listeners' attachment styles will help me tailor my content accordingly for future episodes (and also help me not feel so cray cray!)

Throughout The Attachment Confessions, you'll have a ring-side seat to my own attachment healing journey. We'll get into some pretty heavy stuff but have a grand 'ol time while doing so! And who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to ALSO embark on your own attachment healing journey. That's my hope, at least!

Let's freaking go, y'all!

If you don’t know what your attachment style is, listen to find out and join this healing and growth journey with me. I love Chelsea’s energy and presentation of what can be “tough to hear” information.
