Secure Attachment Style Analysis

Improved Essays
I believe that I show a secure attachment style in my interactions with God and others. It is not a textbook secure attachment style because I find myself in different situations going between ambivalent and avoidant styles in a minor way. At times I want the attention from others, moving closer to them and trying to connect with them more. I am very content with where and who I am.

I do see that I need to work on trusting people more and being willing to be outgoing and share what is going on with me if I am under stress. It is not that I carry my boulders as small rocks but, that I wait and carry it till I find someone worthy of trust and helping me, which can be hard if I do not allow many to help me. I also know that I need to work on my connection with God. Even in those small moments of self-condemning, I need to check those thoughts so as not to beat myself up over mistakes. I know that God is the ultimate secure attachment style personality; I need to emulate Him in how he is forgiving, understanding, trusting, etc. If I keep working on these things, I will become more like how God wants me to be, a Secure attachment style, which is and should be my goal when coming down to connecting with both God and others, to be a better version of

    We’ve all been alone at some point in our lives, whether physically, mentally, and/or spiritually. Being alone evokes different emotions for different people at different times. This can be attributed to both personality differences and the two different states of being alone; isolation and solitude. Most people don’t recognize that isolation and solitude are two different things, even though their differences are substantial and worth noting. Rather than giving you a dictionary definition of each, I’d rather show you how different these two states of being are.…

    Problem In order to better understand how one’s interpersonal relationships relate to the connections one has with God, Kristin Laurin, Karina Schumann, and John G. Holmes, pioneered a study which explored how one’s interpersonal relationships affected their ongoing relationship with God. They hypothesized that people will seek a stronger relationship with God when facing rejection in other interpersonal relationships, but that when facing rejection by religion they will form stronger interpersonal connections with their human companions. Previous studies have explored how one’s relationship with God might affect their day to day lives. For example, the fact that God can act as a parental figure and meet all the criteria of an attachment…

    After viewing the Attachment in Infancy & Toddlerhood Wikipage, it made me think about my own attachment to my mother based upon my behavior as a child described to by my parents. I displayed a very explorative and joyful demeanor when I was near them. I vaguely remember being very upset at only a few years of age upon being separated from my mother. However, I remember after a few years of age, I grew more and more acceptant of her departure while knowing I would see her again soon. I believe I portrayed a secure attachment, as my mother expressed consistent and sensitive response to my signals and needs as a young child.…
