attachment-related disorders

Attachment-related disorders stem from early relationships with caregivers that are inconsistent, unresponsive, or neglectful, impacting a person's ability to form and maintain healthy relationships later in life. These disruptions can cause difficulties with trust, emotional regulation, and intimacy, leading to issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Such disorders often originate in childhood but can affect individuals across their lifespan. Treatment typically involves therapy to understand and work through these attachment wounds, helping individuals develop healthier relational patterns and emotional resilience.
