Empowerment in Changing Attachment Styles

Understanding the self-fulfilling prophecy effect that reinforces past experiences and behaviors helps in changing attachment styles. Being consciously aware of how one relates to others, recognizing unhealthy patterns, and understanding that relationships can be unlearned and guided towards healing by a therapist are crucial. Taking control of teaching people how to treat you enables empowerment and is a significant step in healing a disordered attachment style.
