Marie and her husband sought couples therapy during the stress of early parenthood, worsened by COVID-19. The therapist identified Marie's insecure attachment from her childhood as a factor in her marital struggles. While Marie participated in individual therapy and readings on attachment to address these issues, she felt dissatisfied with their influence on her family life. The emphasis on secure attachments in parenting reflects a widespread belief that unresolved childhood issues can adversely affect both relationships and parenting outcomes.
Marie found herself perplexed as her therapist continually redirected discussions about her marital challenges to her past parental relationships, highlighting her insecure attachment issues.
Engaging with attachment theory literature and attending individual therapy sessions, Marie began to explore her early relationships, although the effects on her parenting remained unclear.
