\r\n What is attachment? <\/h2>\r\n \r\n

Attachment is an emotional bond that forms in early childhood<\/strong> when we are 10 to 20 months old based on our parents’ behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unconscious patterns become set in place by the time we are two years old. Our attachment style is at the core of how we form adult relationships<\/strong> whether they are romantic or friendships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n What is an attachment disturbance? <\/h2>\r\n \r\n

An attachment disturbance is a dysfunctional relationship pattern<\/strong> that we repeat as adults.<\/p>\n

These patterns are a consequence of conditioning during early childhood<\/strong> from our parents or caregivers.<\/p>\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \n\n\n\n

\n Insecure attachment is a global issue <\/p>\n

\n

Over 32% of US adults suffer from an attachment disturbance with similar rates reported across other western countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attachment disturbances are one of the biggest challenges faced in psychotherapy today. There are extraordinarily high rates of trauma in countries facing past instabilities such as war or economic deprivation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Let’s end intergenerational trauma <\/p>\n

\n

When we heal our own pain, we can heal the next generation after us.\u00a0<\/strong>Pain from an attachment disorder is passed on through the family line until someone is ready to heal it.<\/p>\n

Issues are intergenerational, and can often be shared across several generations of families.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n

\n How does attachment impact our daily lives? <\/p>\n

\n

Our attachment styles shape the way we approach, communicate in, and effect our relationships. It might even predict the quality and duration of those relationships.<\/p>\n

The influence of attachment even goes beyond relationships. It impacts the way we interact in various social contexts (even at work) and most importantly, the way we feel about ourselves.<\/p>\n
