REPLAY: A Closer Look at Insecure Avoidant Attachment
About this episode
Another episode in the June series on attachment!
Today is all about insecure avoidant attachment.
Avoidant attachment is in the category of 'organized' attachment- meaning, the infant figures out an organized way to get their attachment needs met in the best way possible. So smart!
In this episode, we look at
- The behavior patterns that lead to avoidant attachment
- The attachment needs of connection and autonomy, and which one is harder for babies with avoidant attachment
- Avoidant attachment impact on regulation
- The hope versus the expectation of avoidant attachment
