Below are the most popular styles of attachment: Enmeshed and Dismissive-avoidant. Find out more about each style and which one you daughter will develop. Continue reading to find out more about these styles and the psychology behind them. It is a common mistake for parents to not know which type of daughter their child has. If your daughter does not display either of these styles, you should immediately recognize it.
Avoiding disapprovalant attachment styles
A mother-daughter relationship that is dismissive and avoidant is the most popular type of attachment. It often results in inconsistent parenting. This type often manifests insecurity, anxiety, and a loss of confidence in identifying or meeting their needs. Adults with this attachment style will be more inclined to avoid romantic relationships. They prefer relationships that are independent and who maintain emotional distance. These women may still seek close, intimate, and meaningful relationships from their mothers.
Adults with this attachment style have an overly positive view of themselves, which often masks a more negative self image. Dismissive people tend to deactivate the self-protective response system which can make them less likely of building supportive relationships. They are more likely to distrust others, view people who need their help as immature, weak and emotionally unstable. They are less likely that they will be happy with their relationships.
Adults who have a dismissive-avoidant attachment style often ignore the impact attachment can have on their relationships and minimize its importance. They regard others as untrustworthy and refuse to allow their children to share their feelings. Although it can be hard to break this intergenerational cycle, it is possible. One of the first steps to breaking these patterns is seeking therapy. You may be surprised at how quickly the effects of this attachment style can manifest in a child's life.
Style of enmeshed attachment
It can be hard to alter the dynamics of an enmeshed mother/daughter relationship. Those who have benefitted from enmeshment tend to fight changes they see as detrimental to their own well-being. An therapist can help you to identify your own enmeshed relationship style. It is possible to heal and move on with your relationships by understanding the signs and creating healthy boundaries.
Signs of enmeshed attachment style in mother-daughter relationships may include lack of boundaries and favoritism toward one sibling over the other. A child might feel pressured to conform to the parents' wishes and pursue their interests, rather than following their own. The child may feel guilty for not following the parents' interests. These are just some of the symptoms of dysfunctional family dynamics.
Enmeshed attachment styles may continue to exist as children get older. This could be due to codependency. The likelihood of enmeshment in adulthood is higher for those who grew up in tightly-knit families. Fear of being abandoned is the primary cause. The main reason is that a child who has experienced enmity in the mother-daughter bond will likely experience the same pattern as an adult.
