Disorganized attachment style is a type of insecure attachment that often develops in children who experience inconsistent or frightening caregiving. These children may feel confused or fearful in their relationships, as their caregivers can be sources of both comfort and distress. This inconsistency can lead to difficulties in forming healthy emotional bonds later in life. Individuals with disorganized attachment may display erratic behaviors in relationships, such as approaching others for comfort but then withdrawing in fear. This attachment style is often linked to experiences of trauma or neglect, making it challenging for affected individuals to trust others and maintain stable connections.
