attachmentstyle

I recently learned about attachment styles and understand myself so much better now. Knowing how my childhood experience created reactive patterns to interactions with others as an adult has helped me see that I have “frozen needs” that are NOT MY FAULT.

How validating! No longer simply blaming myself or feeling inadequate or hopelessly stuck has enabled me to recognize opportunities to grow and retrain my brain to bypass so much dysfunction in my life. Once I saw the pattern I could learn to reach for a much better relationship with myself and others. I hope learning your attachment style helps free you too.

Have you ever heard about attachment style? It can be a powerful determinant of the ways in which we interact with others in a relationship and it is established in childhood depending upon the connection you had or didn't have with your primary caregiver. You can read more about it in this article:

Those of us who have experienced trauma often have a disorganized attachment style. I can vacillate between trusting others to isolating in just moments because my hyper vigilance kicks in.

Based upon these descriptions, can you isolate your attachment style? Are you secure, avoidant, ambivalent or disorganized? How does this manifest for you? Share below!
