Elevated cortisol and heightened stress responses are often a result of mis-guided insecurities. Your fight or flight, vagus nerve responses are deeply tied into how you respond to stress and what you've learned do to feel safe and secure. Being aware of how insecurities show up in situations as well as relationships with yourself and others is a crucial component of stress reduction. This episode of the health fix is the first podcast of a two part interview series with cultural anthropologist, author, speaker and health coach Jonathan Marion. If that name sounds familiar - that’s because he was on the podcast - Ep 456 where we talked about being present in your life. This podcast series is a great follow up from episode 466 with Alicia Kay where we talk about stories you tell yourself to keep you safe. In this episode Dr. Jonathan Marion and I take a look at how the primal nervous system's mission to keep you safe shows up in relationships with insecurities and attachment styles causing stress.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

Characteristics of the 3 attachment styles
Relationship drama provoked by insecurities
Identifying insecurities in what makes you feel safe and secure
The nervous system connection to seeking comfort and fulfilling your needs
