In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between privacy and secrecy. Depending on where you sit on the attachment spectrum, you may have a complicated relationship with privacy - both your own and others'. We'll discuss where the line is between privacy and secrecy, and what to do if you find other people's privacy uncomfortable or triggering.

We cover:

  • what's the difference between privacy and secrecy?
  • anxious attachment and the need for information to eliminate uncertainty
  • the trust wound
  • avoidant attachment and protectiveness around privacy
  • important caveats where there has been a known breach of trust
