The Essence of Attachment
Attachment is a primal instinct that shapes our relationships and development from infancy through adulthood. It emphasizes the importance of forming close emotional bonds, especially with caregivers, as a vital component of survival and thriving. When caregivers respond with warmth, empathy, and understanding, children learn that their feelings are valid and manageable, promoting a secure attachment style. Conversely, detachment or insecure patterns emerge when caregivers dismiss emotions or exhibit avoidant tendencies, leaving children to navigate their feelings alone.
