Attachment Theory & Styles, Somatic Therapy, NPD & the Nervous System with Elizabeth Anile

In this episode I sat down with Elizabeth Anile, a Melbourne based psychotherapist. 

We discussed the origins of Attachment Theory and how our attachment style can form later in life, based on our relationship with our primary caregiver in childhood. Elizabeth shares in detail the definitions of each attachment style (secure & insecure) and the characteristics associated with these. We also spoke about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), narcissistic abuse and how it can affect the nervous system. This segued nicely into our somatic therapy conversation - a form of alternative therapy aimed at treating trauma and stress-related disorders, such as PTSD.

Elizabeth and I also answered all questions sent in via my Instagram post.

This is an absolute banger in length, but the quality of content and Elizabeth's wealth of professional and personal knowledge was incredible. 

I hope you enjoy this episode!
