Can't attach debugger to process unless running pycharm as root (macOS 10.13)

I am unable to attach the debugger to my running python process unless I'm running pycharm as root. 

However running as root is problematic for me because I don't have the same environment variables on root as I do my regular user account (nor do I want to add my environment variables to root). 

How do I successfully attach the debugger to my process without running as root?
