Summary

The Attachment Matrix

Core Principles:

• Attachment Currents: Deep patterns established in earliest relational experiences

• Four Attachment Strategies: Secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized membrane configurations

• Earned Security: Capacity to develop healthy attachment regardless of early conditioning

• Mentalization: Understanding that different bubbles have different internal attachment realities

• Dynamic Strategies: Attachment patterns as fluid, evolving systems rather than fixed structures

Technical Elements:

• Origin Waters: Primordial environment where first relationship patterns were established

• Membrane Permeability: How attachment shapes boundary management strategies

• Healing Whirlpools: Therapeutic environments enabling attachment pattern evolution

• Hypervigilance vs. Independence: Contrasting survival strategies in anxious vs. avoidant attachment

• Approach-Avoidance Conflict: Disorganized attachment's simultaneous seeking and fleeing

Visual Elements:

• Underwater cavern with luminous Origin Waters

• Four distinct current systems with unique flow patterns

• Bubbles with different membrane characteristics and movement styles

• Healing whirlpools where different attachment patterns converge safely

• Vast oceanic plain where all currents eventually merge
