Dealing With Daddy Issues: Attachment Wounding and Becoming Securely Attached | Being Well

Описание: You've probably heard of the phrase "daddy issues," which is more accurately understood as a form of attachment wounding. Attachment wounding describes situations where our adult relationships are affected by past difficult or traumatic experiences. I'm finally talking with my dad, psychologist @RickHanson, about what daddy issues are, common forms they take, and what we can do about them.

We explore how daddy issues relate to attachment theory, sexism and the broader social and historical context, different forms of attachment wounding, and a simple way to understand your attachment style. We then walk through four typical sets of symptoms and related challenges that can come from attachment wounding, and talk about what a person can do to move toward a more secure attachment style.
