In this heartfelt continuation of a two-part conversation, Natalie Larson is joined by therapist and podcast host Liz Emmerich to explore the delicate dynamics of parent-child attachment.

Whether you’re deep in the attachment work or just beginning the journey, this episode offers encouragement, validation, and tangible next steps.
