I did not believe I had attachment issues.I prefer to speak in terms of attachment style. I had an avoidant attachment style because I feared abandonment. This played out in many of my relationships and employment. I had friends and family relationships, but they were very void or superficial. With some therapist I played the game of I will abandon you first, before you get a chance to abandon me. Others I liked, but had no deep connection with them that would affect me outside of session. Attachment therapy helped me to change my pattern of how I experience the world and I don't fear abandonment anymore.
