Hiya Suzie, welcome to Babble :-)
Glad you decided to join us.Its hard to know about attachments...
Sometimes all we really know about them is what our parents tell us about them. If your mom says you were cold (not wanting to be touched) then that might be because you needed LESS contact than normal, or it might be because she needed MORE contact than normal. So... A problem only arises when there is a mismatch, a conflict of needs.
I think different people / theorists / clinicians differ with respect to how important first attachments are. Some theorists like to trace everything back to there... And others consider it to be fairly much irrelevant.I dunno.
But when I think back...
I think I understand a little more about my present self...
Trouble is...
I'm not sure what that means about getting better
:-(
