Steve and Julia discuss anxious attachment. Anxious attachment style relates to others based on fear of abandonment and a constant need for reassurance. People with this attachment style tend to overthink and overanalyze their relationships, feeling insecure and needy. They may also be hypersensitive to signs of rejection or distance from their partner. This attachment style typically develops in childhood due to inconsistent or unpredictable caregiving, leading to a lack of trust in close relationships. However, it can be changed through therapy and self-awareness.

Steve and Julia discuss disorganized attachment. One of the hardest to overcome due to narcissistic and other personality disorders are birthed.

It is important for individuals with disorganized attachment to seek professional help to address and overcome these patterns.

Steve discusses another attachment disorder. Avoidant attachment refers to an attachment pattern where individuals avoid close emotional relationships and intimacy. People with avoidant attachment often have difficulty trusting others, fear emotional vulnerability, and may minimize the importance of relationships in their lives.

Avoidant attachment is thought to develop when caregivers are consistently unresponsive or neglectful of a child's emotional needs, leading the child to learn that emotional closeness is unsafe or unrewarding.
