Trauma Agora

Is It Love, or My Attachment Style Talking?

Listen Later
Welcome to the Agora! 

✨ Our first ever episode! ✨

We’re kicking off Trauma Agora by diving headfirst into attachment theory, aka why we love the way we do, text the way we do, and sometimes completely self-sabotage (oops).

Can your attachment style actually change, or are we all just a little bit anxious and avoidant forever?  Is it true that, statistically, everyone on Hinge needs therapy? (We confirm with data, and vibes). And how do you move towards the mythical *secure attachment*? We unpack it all, with a few trauma dumps along the way.
