b'IN THIS EPISODE:\\nOrganizing The Disorganized:\\xa0Understanding The Elusive Attachment Category\\nShow Notes\\n\\n\\n\\n\\xa0Disorganized attachment\\xa0states of mind happen to us all. We temporarily get lost in a jumble and it\\u2019s difficult to\\xa0track what is happening\\u2026 but for some this is a more serious concern that can reflect much of how we feel much of the time.\\xa0By popular request, we begin to unravel the last attachment\\xa0category and update current\\xa0thinking that includes those who have unresolved trauma, loss\\xa0or have had caregivers\\xa0who were frightening.\\n\\nDisorganized Attachment\\nIn this episode, Sue Marriott, Patty Olwell and Dr. Ann Kelley\\xa0discuss this oft-overlooked fourth category;\\xa0disorganized\\xa0attachment and how it affects our adult lives. We go over\\xa0it\\u2019s development and move to our current thinking on what it\\xa0includes. We\\u2019ll talk about\\xa0how attachment is formed as a survival skill and how loss, trauma and frightening\\xa0caregivers transport individuals to disorganized spaces. Towards the end you\\u2019ll learn how relationships can provide safety and security in neurobiological terms, and how you can\\xa0affect change for yourself or a loved one.\\nTimeline\\n0:00 -1:53 Intro\\n1:53\\xa0\\u2013\\xa03:49 Quick review of attachment & underlying organized dynamics (Secure &\\xa0Insecure) Insecure attachment (Insecure Preoccupied & Insecure Avoidant)\\n\\n3:49\\xa0\\u2013\\xa04:18 Data on attachment and historical figures (John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth,\\xa0Mary Main)\\n4:18\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0Attachment as biological imperative & cross cultural \\u2013\\xa0everyone has an attachment\\xa0system\\n4:59 Three distinct categories\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0The addition of the fourth distinct disorganized attachment category (The Strange Situation)\\n6:54\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0The problem of disorganization in adults rather than children (update)\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0Applying\\xa0data to real life individual people\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0Disorganization/attachment as a spectrum\\n7:59\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0How can we begin to move towards the middle (secure) including the\\xa0disorganized?\\n9:32\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0Buckets instead of a category\\n10:19\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0What does disorganized attachment look like in an adult?
