Linda Richards brings insight and education in this episode with more on the biology of attachment and the critical role it plays as we go through life.  It affects whether we grow up with empathy and compassion, or whether we drift through life feeling anchorless. It affects the partners we chose and the way we raise our own children.  Our attachment influences every aspect of our lives including our immune functioning and whether we can live to our full authentic selves, or just a shell of what we could be.
