53: Building Secure Attachment in Online Spaces with Josi Wahlert
It can be incredibly challenging to feel comfortable and safe being seen—especially in online support groups. And yet… without comfort and safety, it’s impossible to even open ourselves up to allow for healing. So where do we go from here?
Enter: Josi Wahlert. Josi and Chrissy have never met in person, but Chrissy has experienced true growth and healing because God brought her into Chrissy’s life. She’s not only a supportive person; she’s also a coach who deeply believes in “gentle curiosity.” We hope you enjoy this conversation where we get into what doesn’t work to build secure attachment in online groups, what “gentle curiosity” looks like, and how your Christ-centered authority supports your healing process.
