Status Updates From Attached: Are you Anxious, ...

“Avoidant: When mommy leaves the room, this baby acts as though nothing has happened. Upon her return, she ignores her mom, and continues to play indifferently. But this facade doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, inside, baby is neither calm nor collected. Researchers have found that these babies' heart rates and cortisol levels are actually just as elevated as other babies who express immense distress.”

Informative but kinda feel like they’re a lot more critical of avoidant attachment than anxious, and a bit of a shame they don’t talk at all about disorganised (fearful-avoidant) for a book about attachment styles lol
