I think some of the lifetraps include attachment issues, although they're not labelled as such. For example the abandonment lifetrap, fear of abandonment, seems like it is an anxious attachment style. Others like defectiveness have their origin in attachment issues in childhood and also can affect relationships in the Here-and-now.
I think there are lots of lifetraps, I don't remember them all. Do you work with this concept?
BTW it's nice for me that I'm not the only one doing schema therapy here
