Unfortunately, it’s not just exhausting, it leaves them flustered. Most of us don’t have access to the support or resources we need to manage being flustered in a healthier way.

According to this theory, we develop attachment patterns with parents and caregivers in early childhood that influence how we relate to others as adults.
