In reply to Humans must exist along a continuum of attachment, posted by seldomseen on November 23, 2008, at 7:27:31
Seldom,
Lately I too have been fascinated with attachments and attachment theories. I have proposed several of these questions to my p-doc/t who has found my questions "very good observations or very good questions" yet I find the responses of his does not yet find the mark within my own self. His answers or opinions are not yet what i am looking for. Yet the answer I seek I am not sure is his to answer, although at the present I have no response even to my own questions.
I am wondering if once an attachment is wronged in some way, however it is interrupted, is it ever able to be repaired. And I too, wonder if stable attachments are necessary for stable relationships. I have always moved from one relationship to another and forgot one to move to the next without any hesitation. I have only now been told this is not correct.
I am not bothered by being alone. I get lonely but I am fine most of time. I usually am alone even when I am with people. I like to remain at the outer limits of people anyway and observe them.
I like your statement "humans must exist along a continuum of attachment." And why wouldn't there be variability in attachment and what is healthy and what isn't.
Everyone had good points about their observations regarding how this might be affecting you in your situation but from a purely scientific point of view I think you are absolutely correct.
Regarding continuation of therapy, I must admit I struggle with that too, and I have been in therapy for a much shorter time than you.
