What is anxious attachment?

Kimberley and her guest, clinical psychologist Dr Fatoumata Jatta, explore how anxious attachment shows up in our relationships – with friends, partners, even at work, and how we can manage it. You can also catch up with their episode on avoidant attachment – look for it in the Complex feed on BBC Sounds.
