Custom IPF Approaches by Attachment Strategy
IPFP for Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment
In the realm of attachment theory, the anxious-preoccupied attachment style can be likened to a relentless search for emotional security and connection. It's a yearning that echoes through the chambers of the heart, a longing to be held, seen, and cherished.
IPFP for Disorganized Attachment
The disorganized attachment strategy embodies a poignant paradox—a longing for emotional security amidst the turmoil of unresolved trauma. Beneath this intricate tapestry of conflicting emotions lies an unspoken yearning for authentic connection and relational sanctuary.
IPFP for Dismissing (Avoidant) Attachment
Those with dismissing attachment conceal and suppress most feelings — with the exception of positivity and anger. Beneath a seemingly self-sufficient exterior, this strategy creates detachment and distance, veiling emotional needs even from self-awareness.
