Attachment Is Your Childhood Survival Template
- Attachment patterns form early as survival templates that shape relationships, goals, and self-worth across life.
- Judy Ho explains these templates come from caregiver responses in childhood and become self-fulfilling through selective memory and behavior.
Map Attachment By Life Domain
- Assess attachment across domains (romantic, friends, work) since people often have mixed styles in different contexts.
- Judy Ho recommends bucketizing areas of life to see which style shows up where for targeted change.
Anxious Attachment Drives Self-Neglect
- Anxious attachment shows as high separation distress, approval-seeking, and putting others first to avoid abandonment.
- This leads to burnout, resentment, and chronic health risks from neglecting self-care and constant stress.
