Wounded Attachments

Wounded attachments refer to emotional scars from early relationships, often with caregivers, that affect how a person connects with others. These wounds can result from neglect, inconsistency, or trauma, leading to fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting, or feeling unworthy of love. Such attachment wounds influence adult relationships, sometimes causing struggles with intimacy or emotional regulation. Healing these wounds involves awareness, understanding their origins, and working through trust and vulnerability issues, often with therapy or supportive relationships, to develop healthier, more secure attachments over time.
