Psychodynamic Understanding of the Entrance of Anxiety

SESSION 3 OF 6

Duration 13mins 38secs

In this session, Dr Sia Bandarian explores a psychodynamic understanding of the entrance of anxiety. He investigates how we might become anxious due to experiences from our childhood, outlining three different attachment styles; secure attachment, anxious avoidant attachment and anxious ambivalent attachment. We discover how these attachment styles can affect how we experience anxiety as adults and whether our anxiety will become problematic or not. Dr Sia provides us with skills and techniques we can use to start reducing our anxiety in interpersonal situations, highlighting the importance of self-compassion and the significance of recognising and sharing our feelings.
