Disorganized Attachment Defined
- Disorganized attachment is a challenging style marked by difficulty maintaining intimacy.
- It involves a confusing desire and fear of closeness, often stemming from childhood inconsistencies.
Inconsistent Parenting Example
- Imagine a child bringing a book to a parent, receiving a smile and engagement, then later getting the book smacked away with yelling.
- This inconsistency is a core experience for many with disorganized attachment, hindering their ability to predict relational responses.
Consistency and Internal Systems
- Children need consistent responses to their needs, around 35-40% of the time.
- Disorganized attachment arises from a lack of this consistency, preventing the development of trust and secure internal systems.
