The Need for Secure Base

Psychobiological drive is to establish secure connection, sense of that there is a adult reliably available to provide us safety and a sense of protection. Object constancy is the sense that even when we don't see someone, or they are not directly proximate, that we have the sense that if we need someone, they would be available to us. And throughout our developmental years, having a secure base alleviates abandonment anxiety. It regulates our nervous system and encourages exploration. We don't feel scared of our fear or our sadness or our anger. If you'd like to learn about all of the rich history of understanding the need for attachment visit www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/
