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

We dive deep into the world of attachment styles, discussing whether we're born with them or if they can be changed. 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.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone looking to break free from negative patterns and gain a deeper understanding of their relationship dynamics.
