Came across this post and just love how relatable it is. Attachment Theory is very complex and can be hard to explain in a social media context. Relating attachment styles to familiar characters can make these complex concepts easier to understand. Posted @withregram • @epicinitiator Which character do you identify with the most? Or are you a mix? ⁣ ⁣ While this attachment business is really fun and interesting, it’s important to remember that your attachment goals are more important than your current attachment style because your attachment style is plastic…meaning, it can change. ⁣ ⁣ You’re not stuck, you don’t suck, you’re not doomed to be alone or to be attracted to people that treat you like a*holes.⁣ ⁣ The coolest thing is that there’s a process and I’ve seen so many cool shifts and changes, even within a few months of doing the work. Often if we’re wanting to change behavior, it’s going to take a good year of commitment, potentially more. Neuroscience has now shown that each cell in our body regenerates yearly, so we are different from year to year. We have an amazing capacity for healing, so by this time next year your attachment style could be vastly different. ⁣ Follow @epicinitiator for more attachment theory info ⁣ #attachmentstyles #attachmenttheory #attachment #attachment #secureattachment #neuroplasticity #insecureattachment #anxiousattachment #avoidantattachment #disorganizedattachment #fearfulavoidant #dismissiveavoidant #avoidance #loveaddiction #loveaddict #addictedtolove #codependent #consciousdating #consciousrelationship #relationaltrauma #relationalhealing #emotionalhealing #emotionaltrauma #traumatized #counterdependent #connectionmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CX1h4yKrLsi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Recovery is not meant to be a solo effort; community and connection can help heal and provide purpose to keep going❣️🥰 #relationalhealing #relationshipsgoals #relationshipsbelike #connectionmatters #connections #connecting #connectingyourlife #connectingpeople #connectingyou #connectingwithnature #connectingwomen #connectingmen #healthyconnection #healthyconnections #healthyrelationship #healthyrelationships #rachaelsroadtorecovery #growingrelationships #trustissues #trustisearned #trustiseverything #trustingtheprocess #healthyboundaries #feelinglove #feelingloved #feeltheheal #validation #validate #validated #validateyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CQpKlpCJKk3/?utm_medium=tumblr

An important part of relational healing for CPTSD survivors is reparenting ourselves. #reparenting #relationalhealing #selfmothering #selffathering #selfcompassion #selfprotection #cptsdwarriors #cptsdrecovery #cptsd #complexptsd #developmentaltraumadisorder

As humans we are biologically wired for connection and community. This post focuses on those unhealthy, harmful, or codependent relationships. For me, these thoughts actually stemmed from it being National Pug Day 😂 While our pug was the family dog, he was really MY dog. We had a connection unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. He’d climb into my lap when I started crying, pushed homework off the bed when I hit burn out—it was like he could read my mind. When I moved out I wasn’t allowed to take him with me and not having him around sent me into another bout with depression. I was thinking (and crying) about how much I miss him—even though he’s not far away and I could visit him. (But it’s not the same.) And a thought occurred to me: What about him do I miss so much that it’s reopening this wound? That I’m sobbing at 9am looking at his pictures? Then that got me thinking about how sometimes we miss old relationships (with people usually) or relationships that could’ve/should’ve/would’ve been and we seek that dynamic out in other people. For the longest time I looked for a mother figure in other people. And then I learned that I could be my own parent because what I wanted was someone to love me and support me unconditionally. So I decided to love myself and support myself unconditionally. I guess in a lot of ways I miss my dog because he could read my mind and I felt understood. And right now I’ve been having a really hard time communicating and speaking my mind. I just want someone to look at me and just GET IT and know exactly what I need. But I know I can do that for myself. With time and patience, and some introspection, I’ll be able to understand myself a little bit better. Instead of feeling frustrated I can’t articulate to even myself, I will examine myself with ease. . . . #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #woundedinnerchild #innerchildhealingcoach #innerchildcoach #childhoodabuse #emotionalabuse #mentalabuse #abuserecoverycoach #selfhealing #selfhealers #healingjourney #healingmission #generationaltrauma #cyclebreakers #traumarecovery #motherwound #mentalhealthmatters #codependency #relationalhealing https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYOY6BDyMI/?igshid=1i822qn7lf23v

The attachment needs & wiring of mammalian pets are similar enough to ours that mutual healing connections can evolve between us. #cats #relationalhealing #unconditionalpositiveregard #emotionalsupportanimal #cptsd #complexptsd #developmentaltraumadisorder #petewalker

Cats are a very good non-human source of relational healing for cptsd. #cptsd #complexptsd #complextrauma #developmentaltraumadisorder #relationalhealing #emotionalsupport #unconditionallove #unconditionalpositiveregard #cats #pets #catsforcptsd
