Unhealthy Attachment Analysis

I do believe that healthy attachment is the basis for forming healthy adult relationships. As the skills and behaviours that we are exposed to in childhood, form our ability to properly interact in our later life. As we watched in the documentary, unhealthy attachment early on in life, has the ability to drastically and negatively affect an individual’s ability to form healthy and trustworthy relationships. As a child, I was exposed to safe and secure relationships with both of my parents, which gave the ability to trust others within the social relationships that I interact in. My mother and I were very close while I was growing up, she was a protective and loving figure, and as I watched and imitated her behaviours, I developed the ability
to portray the same empathy and love that she showed me. Being close with my mother has given me the ability to be open and caring within my social relationships, as being exposed to a healthy and loving relationships with my mother, has allowed me to trust that other people will love and care for me that same way my mother has. Throughout my life, I have imitated her loving and protective ways, and I am now able to form healthy and loving adult relationships. As I trust other people’s ability to be good and loving, as that was the behaviour I have been exposed to all my life.
