Attachment Styles Origin
- Attachment styles originate from early child-caregiver relationships and shape how we bond.
- These patterns are stored in the nervous system and reappear in adult romantic and close relationships.
Scarcity of Secure Attachments
- Securely attached people tend to trust, have fewer relationship struggles, and stay married.
- They are rare, making it challenging to find secure partners in the dating pool.
Memory Stored as Bodily Sensation
- Early childhood memories are stored as bodily sensations instead of pictures.
- Adult relationship hurts can awaken these early body-stored memories.
