When people talk about attachment styles in popular culture, it’s usually within the context of a romantic relationship. But understanding your attachment style can actually be super beneficial for your friendships as well. In this week’s episode, Daysha goes over:

• What the three major attachment styles are

• How we, as a culture, have been thinking about independence all wrong

• And how she learned how to manage her anxiety in her friendships

So, if you’ve always wondered:

• What does a secure friendship look like?

• How do I recognize when my attachment style is sabotaging my friendships?

• How to become a more secure friend?

Then I hope you are sat and ready because Real Talk Friend Therapy with Daysha Veronica is in session!
