Miles: Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized deep dive from BeFreed-we've got something really powerful lined up for you today, and honestly, I'm excited to dig into this with Nia.
Nia: Absolutely, Miles! We're diving into something that touches so many people's lives-how our attachment patterns, especially that freezing response when we're interested in someone, can really mess with our dating confidence and sense of self-worth.
