You're listening to On attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience

relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to

fearful avoidant or disorganized attachment style.

And I'm really looking for resources specific to that attachment style because it can kind of get sidelined a little in favor of anxious and avoidant attachment being the

two dominant insecure attachment styles.

And I think that's in part because it's thought to only represent around 5% of the population,
