Although Harry Potter’s life is roller coaster ride of different traumatic events, he’s able to grow and recover after these difficult times, and so can we. In this episode, Dr. Katy-Lauren Ford shares her knowledge on attachment styles, the impact of trauma on our worldview, and how to better make sense of these topics through the lens of the Potter series.
On Episode 30, we discuss...
→ Potter academia: teaching a course on trauma and PTSD in the Potter series
→ A refresher on the basics of trauma & PTSD
→ The four attachment styles: secure, avoidant, anxious, and disorganized
→ Learning about attachment through the golden trio

→ The complex relationship of trauma and attachment style
→ How to keep your traumas from defining you
