Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another. The first experience of attachment occurs at birth, between a child and their mother. However, as humans, we create 'attachments' throughout our entire life. Some attachments are healthy and balanced, while others are dysfunctional and toxic. I discuss some ideas I have about why people remain in dysfunctional relationships and why we continually desire attachments until we take our last breath.
