Dr. Maté explains that when people are faced with the choice of either attachment or authenticity in their relationships, most will go for attachment first, seeking approval and recognition from others instead of learning how to give it to themselves. This means that most of us will decide that it is  more important for others to like us than it is for us to do whatever it takes to like ourselves. In other words, when attachment is chosen, respect and acceptance from others is held in much higher regard than self-worth and self-acceptance. WER3 believe that there comes a time for all of us who truly wish to be holistically healthy to choose authenticity over attachment. When you’ve tuned in to the authentic, whole, amazing You, you are tuned out of your fearful parts.
