Attachment Theory w/Aubrie Sellers: The Podcast6 Mai

Attachment Theory: How Your Nervous System Learned to Love

Aubrie zooms out on the framework that names the album and this whole show, walking through the four attachment styles before digging into the part she hasn't covered yet: the biochemistry of what's actually happening in your body when connection feels euphoric or when closeness feels overwhelming. From the cortisol and dopamine cycle that keeps anxious attachers checking their phone, to the vagus nerve freeze that pulls avoidants out of the room, Attachment Theory is about understanding why your nervous system runs the program it runs, and why, once you see the biology, the patterns stop feeling like personal failure and start feeling like a body doing exactly what it learned to do.
