Ambivalent Attachment

Nurturing the Heart of a Child - Ein Podcast von Dr. Barbara Sorrels and Krista Macias

Relationships are the core of life and the pattern and template for how to relate to others begins in the first year.  The essence of attachment is- I see you, I hear you, I attune to your needs.  What happens when this doesn't occur between a parent and child?  Insecure attachment.  There are several types of insecure attachment and in this episode we explore ambivalent attachment.  We will take a look at what the parent who is creating this attachment pattern is like as well as some characteristic of the child.  Dr. Barbara Sorrels gives a great analogy of kids on a playground to help grasp the  different types of attachment patterns. The great news- there is hope for children and parents who have this attachment pattern.
