Stuck on You: Understanding Attachment in Dynamics

Presented by Master Devyn Stone!

What is it really that draws us to feel attached to someone? Where does the sense of connection come from? Devyn Stone, educator and life coach, facilitates deep discussion around topics such as: what are attachment styles? How has childhood informed the formation of attachment? How do we ethically structure our dynamics with attachment styles in mind? Devyn will emphasize interdependence and codependence angles on these topics.
