What is secure attachment and why is it so important?
What is the narrative through which we persistently emphasise the concepts of "trust," "secure attachment," and "trust relationship"? What is the significance of this?
Friends, the very first connection you have with your parents or other primary carers in the very early stages of your existence will become an inseparable component of your identity for the rest of your life.
Your outlook on the world and your stance in romantic relationships (your attitude towards where both emotional and physical contact begins and stops) are heavily tied to the kind of the bond you develop in these very early years. This is because your perspective on the world and your stance in romantic relationships are very closely related to one another.
The relationship that you have with a carer is considered to be a secure attachment relationship. This is the relationship that has been established between you and the carer who has had skin-to-skin, eye-to-eye contact with you, who has taken care of your emotional needs in addition to your physical needs, and who has both protected you and given you autonomy so that you can further develop and fulfil yourself.
An attachment that is secure is characterised by a reciprocal relationship with a carer who is constant and determined, who is able to be flexible when it is required, who does not pass judgement, who can approach you with empathy about your feelings, and who encourages you to communicate those feelings.
Is it possible that the ramifications of my upbringing in a home that did not have a safe attachment model will continue to have an impact on me throughout my entire life? Do you not receive any compensation?
A growing body of data suggests that individuals can acquire this type of communication by 'experiencing' trust in mature love relationships, close friendships, and a psychotherapy process that is both solid and devoted.
It is true that you cannot alter the events of the past. At the same time, however, it is always possible to learn, improve, and transform. As and when our nature and the reality we live in let it, compensation is a possibility.
