I went to a lecture today about attachment behaviors in children and their parents. We spent a lot of time on children who exhibit disorganized attachment and the narrative styles of their parents. I'm fairly sure I have a disorganized attachment style with my parents but that I have an earned-organized ambiguous attachment with my therapist.
One of things I kept thinking as I sat there was about how hard it is to achieve an earned attachment. Many of the people discuss it like it is a no brainer - like yes, we'll just get the client to become attached and it will solve all his/her problems. I was glad when the lecturer drew a map of just how hard it is to rewire the brain around this stuff. He kept saying, "it take YEARS" - I wanted to shout - "many, many YEARS!"
