Support for Attachment and Childhood Wounds

Schedule a consult

Do you have a hard time forming and maintaining relationships?

Attachment styles are patterns of behaviour and emotional responses that develop in early childhood and continue to influence our relationships throughout adulthood. They are developed through our connection with our caregivers and influences how we relate to our partners, families, and friends.

What are the attachment styles?

★ Secure

As a child: We had consistent and nurturing caregivers during infancy.

As an adult: What we all strive for. More confident in their relationships, have better communication skills, and are better equipped to handle conflicts.

★ Anxious

As a child: Our caregivers were inconsistent, not always available or responsive to a child's needs.

As an adult: We tend to have fears of abandonment and rejection. We have a need for constant reassurance. We become excessively pre-occupied and worry about your relationships.

★ Avoidant

As a child: Our caregivers were emotionally distant or unresponsive during infancy.

As an adult: We tend to push people away. We value independence even in relationship and we are uncomfortable with closeness.

★ Disorganized

As a child: Often the result of traumatic or inconsistent caregiving experiences.

As an adult: Mix between anxious and avoidant. We struggle with stability and security in a relationship. We tend to alternate between a desire for intimacy and a fear of it.
