ATTACHMENT BASED ISSUES
Developmental psychologist John Bowlby originally described the concept of attachment, focusing on the bond between mother and infant. Attachment, according to Bowlby, is not a one-time event, but a process that begins with birth and extends into the early years of life. A child's relationship with the primary caregiver, who is often the mother, can affect the child's attachment style throughout life, and insecure attachments can often interfere with future romantic relationships.
Attachment issues can stem from early childhood experiences, such as neglect or inconsistent caregiving, and can significantly impact an individual’s ability to trust and connect with others. In therapy, these attachment patterns are explored and addressed in a safe and supportive environment.
Therapy for attachment issues is a vital resource for individuals struggling with forming and maintaining healthy relationships.
