Attachment Patterns

How attachment patterns are developed in childhood
Attachment Patterns
Your style of attachment and attachment pattern was formed during the first two years of your life.
This pattern was created from the repeated experience of an attachment and relationship style your mother or primary care-giver gave you during those first 2 years of life.
What that experience of relating was and how emotionally available, predictable and consistent your mother / primary caregiver was or was not, results in a relationship and attachment pattern being established, experienced and internalised by the infant.
This becomes the attachment pattern and relationship blueprint repeated in subsequent relationships.
Once established, it is a style that stays with you and plays out today in how you relate in intimate relationships and in how you parent your children.
There are 4 attachment styles: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant and Disorganised.
We'll be exploring each one in turn in upcoming posts and podcasts, and in our upcoming Grow To Glow June Book Group on Thursday 25th June at 6pm. To register for the Book Group, please email myira@myirakhancounselling.co.uk to reserve your place.

What are your goals, your dreams, your ambitions? Then go and work on those. That is your focus. All else is wasted effort towards someone else's agenda. #MondayMotivation #focus #wellbeing #selfcare #agenda #motivation #goals #dreams #ThinkBig #ShineBright
