The Truth About Attachment Theory — Myths, Meltdowns, and Back-to-School Anxiety with Dr. Sarah Bren

from We'll Sleep When We're Dead · host We'll Sleep When We're Dead

Dr. Sarah Bren, clinical psychologist and host of Securely Attached, joins us to break down what secure attachment actually means (and debunk some of the myths floating around Instagram). We get into why kids act out more with their parents than anyone else, what's really happening in the brain during separation anxiety and back-to-school transitions, and the science behind "restraint collapse" — the after-school meltdown so many of us deal with. Plus: how to tell the difference between normal developmental stress and something deeper, and how to refill your kid's emotional tank (and your own) when everyone's running on empty.Find Dr. Sarah Brenhttps://drsarahbren.com/Instagram @drsarahbrenEmail us at [email protected]
