Disorganized Attachment

Do you ever feel like you're on a rollercoaster in your relationship?

Do you have a deep desire for connection and intimacy, but also a fear of being hurt or abandoned?

Do you sometimes find yourself pushing your partner away when they get too close, or clinging to them desperately?

Attachment styles are the way we connect with other people. They are formed in early childhood and can have a significant impact on our adult relationships.

People with disorganized attachment styles often experience fear and anxiety in intimate relationships. They may have a negative self-image and engage in harmful self-talk. They may also feel intensely lonely, but the stress and fear associated with intimacy can cause them to act erratically and push others away.

You're always walking on eggshells, trying to avoid saying or doing anything that will upset your partner. You're constantly worried that you'll do something to trigger their abandonment fears.

These experiences can teach you that the world is an unsafe place and that people are not trustworthy. This can make it difficult to form secure attachments in adulthood.

It is normal and understandable for the partner to feel this way, but it is important to take steps before the situation becomes irreversible.
