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.

At its core, anxious attachment styles involve amplification of stress behaviors in order to keep caregivers close and available.

At its core, avoidant attachment styles involve the minimization of stress in order to paradoxically keep caregivers close.

A fascinating and still-developing body of research is revealing that how our body reacts to and copes with challenges is influenced by our early experiences in relationships. From disorganized attachment to secure attachment, we'll review how your body reacts.

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