Childhood Attachment Trauma

From infancy, we have been wired to connect with our parents and caregivers for a sense of trust and safety vital to growth and well-being. When those attachment bonds have been deeply ruptured (lack of adequate care and attention) this can lead to an enduring sense of brokenness, abandonment, and loneliness in adulthood.

 

What are some signs?

​

• Challenging relationships with parents and caregivers

• Feel like you've had to grow up fast

• Loneliness and isolation

• Low relationship satisfaction

• Emotional dysregulation

• Low sense-of-self

• Critical self-talk
