Attachment & Affection: Navigating Relationships with TikTok Insights

Date: Thursday, February 13, 4:15 – 5:15 pm
Location: Library room 126
Join Lesley Cross from the Otterbein Counseling Center for a workshop where we’ll explore the four main attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and how they shape our relationships. We’ll examine popular TikTok trends discussing attachment theory and evaluate whether the advice given on the platform is truly accurate or oversimplified. Participants will learn how to identify their own attachment style, improve their relationships, and understand how past experiences affect their emotional connections. By the end of the session, you’ll have practical tools to foster healthier, more secure relationships while navigating social media advice with a critical lens. FREE & INST approved!
