This event will explore the link between childhood wounds and adult love, with a special focus on how disorganized attachment shapes later intimate relationships. Through a clinical tale, Atlas introduces The Frightened Child—a dissociated self-state that develops when a child learns that attachment figures can be sources of both love and harm. This state is characterized by the paradox of simultaneous longing for and fear of closeness. We will discuss toxic nourishment, the fantasy of reparation, the dialectic between safety and risk, and future struggles with intimacy.
