The Urge to Merge: Anxious Attachment in Dating with Jessica Baum

This week we are back talking about one of our favorite topics with the help of fellow licensed mental health counselor, Jessica Baum. Jessica is the founder of The Relationship Institute of Palm Beach and her work is focused on developing a meaningful connection with oneself and in understanding our own core patterns so that we can better understand how we relate in our relationships. She recently came out with a new book <a href="https://www.beselffull.com/anxiouslyattached">Anxiously Attached</a> to offer a roadmap to help you go from anxiously attached to building strong, secure relationships. In this episode we hear Jessica's take on Attachment Theory, talk about the "anxious avoidant dance",  and discuss how one's insecure attachment can be affected by using dating apps.  Learn more about Jessica <a href="https://www.beselffull.com">HERE.</a> Follow Jessica on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessicabaumlmhc/">HERE. </a> Follow Kat on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kat.defatta/">@Kat.Defatta</a> Follow the podcast Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youneedtherapypodcast/">@YouNeedTherapyPodcast</a> Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?
