Easy Guide to Attachment Disorders in Adults: Understanding adult attachment styles and relationships and attachment trauma and healing

If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts.

People who develop attachment disorders have trouble regulating emotions and forming healthy relationships. They think negatively about themselves and find it hard to trust others. They often withdraw from social situations because they fear rejection. Some develop fears of intimacy and relationships. Others struggle with anger management issues. Still, others have difficulties controlling impulses and acting responsibly.

But, an attachment disorder doesn't mean you'll never recover. Many people overcome these challenges through therapy and support groups.
