In this episode, Angie discusses the importance of regulating our attachment and nervous systems. She explains that our attachment system is designed to help us form bonds and seek closeness with caregivers for safety and emotional support. However, when we have an anxious attachment style, our attachment system can become hypersensitive and activated when it shouldn't be. Similarly, our nervous system can become dysregulated, leading to heightened anxiety and reactivity. Angie provides strategies for regulating these systems, including mindfulness and meditation, deep breathing, grounding techniques, physical activity, and social support.
