That is soo needed. There are so many traumatized (CPTSD etc.) people out there that didn't learn what a healthy relationship and attachment looks like. This gives us a good guideline what to look out for instead or learn/strive for to heal. Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

I love your videos on attachment. Attachment theory is so fascinating to me. It's really more of a culture shock. I never had any idea that parents were supposed to talk to their kids and connect with them emotionally. My parents were there but not there. They made nice pieces of furniture

I was raised by two different people that were opposites to each other for the first five years of my life. I chose to look at it through a positive lense. My mother left me with a friend of hers for the first two years and then we moved. I stayed in contact with that woman I called grandma until she passed when I was in sixth grade. I never looked at my mother as being the one that raised me, she tried to be a mother sometimes but it was never consistent and I had someone to measure it by. I became avoidant of most people, my family is far from safe physically or emotionally. I am only dealing with it as I approach 60 and have found a community of loving friends. They brought me to realize I was pushing away and might get help. Now at least I am here. It will be a start on a journey but I am traveling a better path.

[@copperheadroad567]

I really appreciate how you gave lots of really excellent questions to put into practice! Thank you!

[@DocSnipes]

Welcome.

[@MyDeztination]

This is a great video! But often this topic is discussed about how past relationships effect the current. What if boundaries are set and violated in a current relationship + you have bits of avoidant/anxious attachment styles? How to navigate who is the problem (the boundary violator or the anxious/avoidant partner, or both), what to forgive, and when walking away is justified?
Also would love a video on genuine forgiveness that is different from most on TH-cam. A common theme in forgiveness is “just let it go”, “don’t let people rent free space”, etc. This feels invalidating. Love to hear your wisdom and education on this topic sometime.

[@DocSnipes]

Great question. I will do a video on that next week. "Insecure Attachment in Love"

I wonder how one addresses fear of abandonment when one has literally been abandoned? I've watched the video on Fear of Abandonment, but it seems to approach a person with an irrational fear or belief? 🤔🥺
I've been a lifelong loner and when I actually found a partner who was everything you describe (loving, supportive, understanding, etc.) They ended up abandoning me, too. (After relapsing on drugs). I've been destroyed since and it's been almost 8 months. :( Straight ghosted after 3 years together. The one person I really opened up to and felt accepted by... 😭

[@retard_activated]

@@levilabs1781 Totally agree! I've learned so much about myself and my family (or origin) dynamic and how I came to be the way I am. LoL it's not easy sometimes 💖

[@retard_activated]

@@levilabs1781 Hopefully things can only go up from here for us all! 💖

Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.

@@DocSnipes Thank you, that means a lot. 💖

[@bettydavis9025]

I've found your videos SO helpful! I realized I have abandonment and anxious (and some avoidant) attachment fears which have sadly shaped many decisions and relationships. It's a blessing just to know myself better and get ideas on how to cope.
Do you suggest discussing abandonment fears with friends as well as partners?

[@DocSnipes]

Depends on the situation. It can be helpful.

[@Blasianpower2]

Love you guys we will get better

[@Apexpurrfection]

[@andreamagyar5541]
