We are bringing it back to where it all started, Attachment Theory. This week, Kat (@threecordstherapy) & Megan (@Meganmoir) take a deeper look into the two organized insecure attachment styles: avoidant & anxious. You'll get a brief overview of attachment as whole & then together they break down the ins and outs of what makes someone's attachment insecure, how it actually helped at one point, & how to move toward an earned secure attachment (spoiler: it takes more than just listening to our podcast☺️).

IT'S MEGAN'S (@meganmoir) GOLDEN B-DAY!!! Sobriety b-day that is. So naturally, Kathryn (@threecordstherapy) gave her full reign on this week's episode topic. Megan & Kat dive into the "grey area" of drinking and talk about why you don't have to meet all of the DSM IV criteria for Substance Use Disorder to decide not to drink. Megan walks us through her decision to enter a life of recovery and together they help answer the question that is on so many minds, "How much is too much?"
