What goes on in the mind of a person with ambivalent attachment? | Dr Sia

Hi, my name is Dr Sia. I am a psychotherapist, lecturer, and researcher. As per usual, I hope you comment, subscribe, and press that bell icon for regular updates.
In this video I discuss what goes on in the mind of a person with ambivalent attachment, called narratives. I will make more in depth videos about this later on but this is an overhaul of what can be done. I hope you find the video useful and that is resonates with you!
Also, make sure to follow me on @doctorsia on insta for regular written posts, IGTV posts, and live IGTV sessions on Thursdays at 19.30 AEST and more!

    Ok so then I don't have this as I do enjoy time by myself and with others. This gave me clarity.

    Ok. Now you make me cry. I have an ambivalent tattoo on my arm and always find that meaning: I can understand mixed sensations of nature. But somehow always thought I was just avoidant. I feel amazingly strong, vulnerable and earthy when I am alone. Don't like to be vulnerable with others rather support them and their needs. And all my life worked/given/helped/other people. Even the best piece of my birthday cake. And all I wanted was someone truly one day feel my vibration

    ugh god, this really spoke to me. I struggle so much with this and have been up and down with my moods for years with my partner. Right now i'm terribly anxious as i'm having urges to leave the relatonnship for the 20th time. I really want someone who understands this "illness" if you want to call it that, to help me

    "And only when I'm with someone is there a chance to feel whole." Apart from that: Why is it really that it is called ambivalent - when in fact it is mostly the anxious, vulnerable and insecure side that is predominant in the type of attachment?

    It is called Ambivalent because the person appears Ambivalent about the caregiver. I want you to heal, cure, and help me, but I fight against you as you seem to be unable to do so. This way the person comes to you but also goes against your inadequacy to heal them. I hope that makes sense.

    @@ebbenielsen7 with over involvement comes the side that becomes demanding. and lashes out when overwhelmed. That is the other side of neediness. Neediness and demandingness are two sides tot the same coin in ambivalence. I hope that makes sense.

    Ambivalent = unsure. Ambivalent folks are anxious about losing others because they are unsure of themselves

    Are attachment styles categories or on a spectrum? I'm just wondering.

    This is a great question Neesha and one I get often. You can look at them as overlapping categories or dimensional. Either way, at the core there will be distinct patterns for a child that operate with specific caregivers. For example, avoidance with one and frustration with the other may result in combinations of avoidant and Ambivalent responses in children. For research purposes, categorical approaches see to be the most effective even though dimensional patterns clearly are emerging. Would this be a good video for me to make amd discuss on depth?
