Custom IPF Approaches by Attachment Strategy
IPFP for Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment
With the attachment system hyper-activated and the exploratory system down-regulated, the anxious-preoccupied attachment style can be likened to a yearning to be held, seen, and cherished.
IPFP for Disorganized (Fearful) Attachment
With the attachment and exploratory systems either hyper-activating or down-regulating, disorganized attachment reflects the longing for emotional security amidst the turmoil of unresolved trauma.
IPFP for Dismissing (Avoidant) Attachment
With the exploratory system hyper-activated and the attachment system down-regulated, the dismissing (avoidant) attachment style can veil emotional needs even from self-awareness.
Success with the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol (IPFP)
