Do I Have Adult Attachment Disorder?

Описание: Do I have Adult Attachment Disorder? Adult Attachment Styles--When a child develops an attachment disorder during the first years of life, chances are, a lot of the symptoms will carry into adult relationships with him. Because attachment disorders basically mean you weren’t properly nurtured by your caregiver in the first three years, beliefs were developed at that point, things like whether you could trust others, whether they would consistently be there for you, whether they would do you harm, etc.

ACEs or Adverse Childhood Experiences are the negative things that happened to or around us during our developmental years. Things like Emotional neglect, physical or sexual abuse, violence in the home, mental illness of a caregiver, etc. There are ten listed on the official ACE test, which was created by the Kaiser Institute in the 90’s, but it only includes the ten most common adverse experiences. There are many more. And sadly, most ACEs happen to a child before the age of three, according to studies done since the ACE test was created. ACEs repeatedly trigger a child's fight-or-flight stress response. This occurs because emotions associated with coping with ACEs, like anger, fear, frustration, shame, humiliation, anxiety, for example, keep triggering the fight-or-flight stress response.
As the child grows up, they often begin to develop social, emotional and cognitive impairments; some are mild, below the radar, and others are severe.
The child develops coping mechanisms, or adaptations, to survive his or her environment. And unfortunately, these adaptations are most often brought into adulthood and remain until a person goes through trauma recovery.
Addiction is not a disease or genetic tendency that strikes us; it’s a coping mechanism that tends to run in families or societies (again, not genetically, but environmentally).
Addiction is merely pain relief. Stigmatized pain relief, but pain relief all the same. A shopaholic and workaholic are trying to excite and release the same brain chemicals as a substance user, as a way of avoiding pain, underlying feelings that seem too difficult to tolerate in that moment.
