A Millennial Mind

In this episode of Millennial Mind, I sit down with Dr. Annie Zimmerman, a renowned psychoanalytic psychotherapist and author of 'Your Pocket Therapist.'

Dr. Zimmerman explains the different types of attachment styles - secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganised, and how each one forms based on early childhood experiences. We explore practical steps for changing your attachment style, the challenges of maintaining healthy relationships, and even the complexities of attachment in friendships and with parents.
