We all want secure attachment.
And the best part of our attachment patterns is we can shift them. Through self awareness, practice, and healthy communication.
People with secure attachment have 3 core traits:
1. The ability to not take things personally: this gives them space to understand people close to them aren’t attacking them. It also makes it so they can get to self reflection.
2. The ability to self reflect: this is actually more rare than people realize. Those with secure attachment can self reflect. They can ask “is there truth here?” “Is this valid?” If it is, they face it and begin to integrate. Integration is why people with secure attachment patterns tend to grow and evolve more than those with insecure patterns.
3. The ability to be accountable for their impact: if they self reflect and see that someone has a point, they can be accountable. Instead of deflecting or being defensive they can say “I see where you’re coming from” and “I’m sorry and want to do better.” They create a space to have conversations which is why people in their lives feel safe and heard.
All of us can practice these traits. It’s about hearing things in new ways and responding in new ways. You’ll see how differently people engage with us when we’re not trying to defend our self image or deny their reality.
Learning to repair as an adult is one of the most important skills.
It shows we’re accountable and we respect the feelings of those around us.
HOW TO REPAIR:
1. Listen to what someone is saying without getting defensive or deflecting.
2. Notice if something they’re saying is valid or something you didn’t see in yourself.
3. Be empathetic and apologize for hurting them.
This builds trust and emotional intimacy.
RETWEET FOR AWARENESS.
The way ppl do not understand that we he under the previous president’s economy when one president is in office. All that “trumps economy was better” was actually Obamas economy. Obama inherited Bush’s economy.
A girl on tik tok just said "I would rather adjust my life to your absence, than adjust my boundaries to accommodate your disrespect" and I think that a lot of people need to take that and really engrave it into their soul.
Starting to realize most humans do not understand the concept that 2 things can be true at once. It’s like we’re inclined to either/or ways of thinking.
