You should cite your sources, including the text, lecture notes, or websites. You should cite at least 1 source in your answer.Read the following scenarios below and identify an attachment style (secure, Anxious-ambivalent, anxious-avoidant, disorganized) that fits each scenario. Then, answer the following questions for TWO of the four prompts:
1) What stood out about the scenario that made you think it was a specific attachment style?
2) How might you approach each scenario differently and where would you begin with these clients?
3) When have you encountered these attachment styles in your own life?
Scenario 1: “When we fight, and he needs to take a break I get so incredibly overwhelmed and anxious. I can’t leave him alone! I text him or try and follow him around the house until he agrees to talk to me and makeup. It makes him so mad and makes the fight worse, but I can’t help myself!”
Scenario 2: “It’s weird, I know, but I feel closer to her when she’s traveling for work or away on the weekend with her friends. When she’s home and acting super loving it feels kind of clingy to me! I end up getting mad and feel pretty distant from her. It’s weird, I know, shouldn’t I feel the opposite way?”
Scenario 3: “I really want to date and find a partner, but I just don’t think it’s going to happen for me. I don’t think anyone will want to date me or even if I find a guy that he’ll be faithful and won’t just leave me. I’m worried I’ll get hurt and just waste my time if I start dating but I also really want to get married and have a family. I feel stuck.”
Scenario 4: “My wife and I have a good relationship. It’s not perfect but what is? I love her and mostly feel close to her. Sure, we fight like all couples but we’re pretty good at making up afterward and working through it. It’s taken time, of course, but we’ve got a good marriage.”
