At FuelEd, we love the concept of earned secure attachment (ESA) because it demonstrates the human capacity to heal and change relationship patterns across our lifespan.

Of the attachment styles, secure attachment is primarily the experience of knowing and trusting a caregiver as a source of safety, soothing, and regulation.

A central feature of disorganized attachment styles is the experience of fear inside of early attachment relationships.

But true self-care may not be what you think.
