In our very first episode of Inside Your Head, I chat to Tova Steiner, a counselling psychologist, about attachment. Attachment can be such an abstract concept to think of, yet so crucial in our daily experiences. Our attachment style refers to how we view ourselves, the world and ourselves in the world. Tova shares her thoughts on how things like trauma can impact our attachment and experience of the world, how our relationships are navigated accordingly and how to work on your attachment style if it is something that might be hindering you.

The Power of Attachment - Elizabeth Gilette
