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
