The Importance
Of Attachment
Greetings!
Safe and secure attachment is a basic human need for children and adults. Research shows that when significant others are emotionally supportive and appropriately responsive we are healthier and happier in all respects. Lack of secure attachment results in emotional, social, and biological problems - including depression, anxiety, negative mindsets, and stress-related illnesses.
Early attachment experiences form self-identity, wire the limbic brain, create core beliefs, and lead to our ability to be trusting, caring, empathic, and genuine. Attachment styles developed in childhood are repeated in adult romantic relationships, affecting our capacity to create and maintain closeness, trust, stability, and love. People often recreate abusive, neglectful and chaotic childhood relationships with their adult partners.
Understanding attachment sheds light on the nature of close relationships, and on how to enhance healthy adjustment throughout life. Children and adults with secure and loving relationships are healthier and happier in all ways - mental, emotional, social, physical and spiritual.
