Deep dives

Understanding Disorganized Attachment

Disorganized attachment is characterized by conflicting desires for intimacy and fear of abandonment, leading to a troubled connection in relationships. Individuals with this attachment style often struggle with intimacy due to childhood experiences marked by painful inconsistencies in caregiving. For instance, a child may receive love and warmth from a parent one moment and face rejection or anger the next, creating a chaotic understanding of relationships. This lack of consistency hinders the development of a reliable internal system for emotional regulation and relationship management.
