Details

Attachment is the emotional bond formed between the ages of approximately 12 and 20 months, based on the behavior of your parents or caregivers. It creates the blueprint for all your future connections: with others, yourself, and the world

We talk about insecure attachment when a relational pattern that used to be adaptive in the context of unpredictable or unreliable caregivers is continued into adulthood where it is no longer adaptive.

Our attachment patterns determine how we communicate and connect with others. They shape the quality and longevity (or absence) of our romantic relationships, how we interact with friends, family, and colleagues, and how we feel about ourselves.

Attachment patterns can change. You can acquire secure attachment even after a problematic youth

What is your attachment pattern?

Are you avoidant in relationships?

  • Are you constantly trying to maintain the "right" distance (not too close)?
  • Do you find it difficult to open up or be truly vulnerable with your partner or significant others?
  • Do you look for flaws in your partner or significant others?
  • Is the emotional intensity of connection sometimes overwhelming?
  • Do you avoid intimacy and closeness?
  • Do you have a positive image of yourself and a negative image of others?
  • Do you feel you don't need a relationship to be complete?
  • Do you want to avoid depending on others, and also avoid having others depend on you?

Are you anxious in relationships?

  • Are you constantly thinking about how to make your significant other happy?
  • Are you afraid of being abandoned?
  • Do you overthink your significant other's words and actions?
  • Do you find it difficult to trust your significant other?
  • Is your relationship your top priority, leaving you constantly alert to potential threats?
