attachment security

Description

Attachment security is a bizarre emotional contraption that reveals our human flaw of insuring against existential collapse, only to tremble pathetically at the slightest rift. The more we call it security, the more it proves to be chains of approval borrowed from others, ready to avalanche into vulnerability the moment they snap. Branded as a “safe base” to beautify childhood warmth, it magically inflates adult anxiety under a scholarly veil. It is the number one psychology buzzword with perpetual demand in therapy rooms. Once sampled, its addictive taste of regret is impossible to spit out.
