Disorganized attachment

An attachment pattern marked by simultaneous desire for closeness and fear of it—clinging then withdrawing, approaching then pushing away—usually traces back to unpredictable caregiving in childhood where comfort wasn't reliable. People with this pattern often feel stuck in cycles they don't understand and need help learning that consistency from others is actually possible.
