Isn't attaching a part of connecting with someone though?

The healing in between relationships is essential. Moving from one connection to the next can push down feelings of guilt or shame from past heartbreak. We often talk about needing closure when addressing relationship endings. Forgiving ourselves for missing signs , overlooking red flags and giving ourselves to someone who couldn't sustain the connection is also a large part of the healing process.
