Integrated Attachment Theory (IAT), is the tool I use to assist individuals overcome challenges in relationship to themselves and to others.

Integrated Attachment Theory is a unique continuation of classic attachment theory, focusing on integration, and was developed by Thais Gibson, psychologist and founder of the Personal Development School, from which I gained my certification.

What is an Attachment Style?

We each have ways we show up and navigate within relationships. An attachment style is the way we tend to respond emotionally to others, how we interact with romantic partners, and how we behave when it comes to relationships, in general. It is our specific pattern of behavior in and around relationship, and is shaped and developed in early childhood in response to our relationships with our earliest caregivers. Essentially, our adult attachment style is thought to mirror the dynamics we had with our caregivers as infants and children.

There are, in essence, three attachment styles insecure in nature, acknowledging that individuals with these attachment styles tend to experience challenges in how they connect with other people. These attachment styles are notably: Fearful-Advoidant Attachment, Anxious-Preoccupied, and Dismissive-Advoidant Attachment. There is also a fourth attachment style, Secure Attachment.

Individuals with an insecure attachment styles generally experience childhood environments where their emotional needs were met with inconsistency. Each of these attachment styles has its own unique set of challenges, and vary from one attachment style to the next. Individuals with a secure attachment generally experienced consistent environments, and are able to trust, love and accept love, and become close to others with relative ease. It is important to note that our attachment style impacts all our relationships, not just romantic ones (family, friends, and work).

THE FOUR ATTACHMENT STYLES

FEARFUL ADVOIDANT

ANXIOUS PREOCCUPIED

Relationships can feel chaotic, confusing and overwhelming because you swing between being avoidant and anxious. You likely struggle with feeling unsafe, deeply wanting yet fearing meaningful connection, and generally experiencing chaos in romantic relationships. You can shift between being "hot and cold," often feeling confused about your feelings, making it difficult for the Fearful Avoidant to maintain the meaningful relationships they long for. Frequently they choose solitude over connection, as that helps them maintain a sense of continuity and control.

ANXIOUS PREOCCUPIED

Relationships can often make you feel anxious, unsafe or insecure because you fear abandonment due to unpredictable and inconsistent in showing emotional connection and validation in childhood. As a result, you seek closeness in your relationships, especially in romantic relationships. You can feel afraid if you sense a loved one is pulling away and lean on unhealthy strategies to maintain closeness, often resulting in the very thing you fear: being abandoned.

DISMISSIVE ADVOIDANT

Relationships can often feel "too much too soon". You deeply want connection with others, but it takes you a while to open up. Vulnerability and intense emotions (both yours and others) can feel overwhelming and you want to withdraw. Fear of emotional intimacy and/or the loss of autonomy strain your relationships and causes you inner conflict. You likely grew up in a home where your needs and/or feelings were neglected or met with negative consequences. Thus, you have learned to rely on yourself, enjoy your own company, and restore your emotional wellbeing through solitude.

DISMISSIVE ADVOIDANT

You have an overall security in yourself and an easy time connecting in a meaningful way with others. You feel comfortable being yourself in relationships and communicating your needs and feelings. You feel safe and open to vulnerability, and are comfortable both giving and receiving love. However, sometimes you can experience difficulty when relating to those who aren’t as secure in relationships.
