Understanding Anxious Attachment
Anxious attachment often stems from inconsistent emotional support during childhood, where caregivers are unpredictably present or absent. Individuals with this attachment style tend to focus heavily on negative aspects of their relationships, making it difficult for them to recognize or appreciate their partners' positive qualities. Practitioners encourage those with anxious attachment to actively identify and acknowledge the positive traits in their relationships to counteract their tendency for negativity. By developing relational awareness, these individuals can better foster a more balanced view of their relationships.
