Theory
During childhood, you create an emotional attachment to your caregiver. If the caregiver made you feel safe, understood and thriving, then you usually develop a secure attachment. If they did not comfort you and respond to your needs consistently, you are likely to develop an insecure attachment. Insecure attachment style can lead to various mental health issues and problems with relationships. The novel Self-Attachment Technique aims to solve the root of the problem by helping you transition from an insecure to a secure attachment style. It can also help you transition from a secure attachment style to a much stronger, secure attachment style.
Solution
Self-Attachment Technique is based on developing a secure attachment with yourself by reraising your childhood self. According to its practitioners, this is a transformative solution. These imaginative interactions, which provide a single-agent reformulation of the optimal child/parent dyadic interactions, enable you to fall in love with your childhood self. Practising the exercises of the Self-Attachment Technique is now made easier with new technological tools (e.g., VR and avatars). In this powerful procedure, you take charge of yourself right at the outset and, without depending on external attachment objects, you grow to become strong, able to solve your problems and attain your full potential.
