Origins Of Attachment Theory

written by: Richard Nicholls
Attachment theory is all about our instinctive need to feel secure through our attachments to things, and despite being a MASSIVE topic I thought I'd spend some time going through the basics with you. It's probably going to be quite a few episodes though I hardly scratched the surface with this one today and it's over 20 minutes long already. So I'll come back to it in next week I think too.

Ego states are patterns of thinking, feeling and acting and is the core model of the therapy style of Transactional Analysis.

Episode 173: Fears & Phobias

Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
One question that I get asked quite often is "What's the difference between a fear and a phobia?"

So today I want to go into a bit of detail about introversion to help you understand yourself better if you are one, and help you to understand others better if you're not.
