  • Ep3: The Hidden Dangers of Coronavirus

    There's no denying that COVID-19 has hit us hard, physically but also mentally/emotionally as well. With so much uncertainty and tension in the air, our mental health can suffer greatly, but sometimes in ways we don't even realize. On top of anxiety and depression, those with eating disorders, OCD, health anxiety, and domestic abuse are also being impacted--just to name a few.

    "Daddy issues," fear of abandonment, self-sabotaging, distrust, and choosing the wrong partner--relationships are SO complicated.

Start here by finding out what YOUR attachment style is, and what you can do about it.
