   Ep. 5 Attachment Theory

   Attachment styles influence how we connect. Would you identify your attachment style as securely attached? We’ll get some clarity on what secure attachment versus insecure attachment might look like in our relationships. This episode focuses on attachment theory and the dynamic-maturation model. We’ll talk about what they are and how they show up in our connections with ourselves and others. Resources Conflict Science Institute. (2020). Is the DMM too simple, too complex, or robust?

   Ep. 3 Love & the Body

   Love can bring such elation and excitement to life. Love and romantic relationships affect not just our emotional well-being but also our physical well-being.

   Ep. 2 Family Communication Styles

   Analyzing the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once Evelyn can't catch a break today. With all she’s got going on—from possibly losing her business to the IRS, potential divorce, managing a relationship with her daughter, and caring for her father—saving the multiverse is a lot to ask of her. This episode is a therapeutic analysis of the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once using the Satir Method of family therapy, focusing on communication stances and self-esteem.

   Ep. 1 Virtual Reality Therapy

   Is virtual reality a useful method for psychotherapy? Therapy and virtual reality have been connected for at least half a decade through various experiments. We’ll explore a couple of use cases and how this works psychologically in this episode. To see the rubber hand illusion, you can watch an example here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxwn1w7MJvk).
