Wing Effect on Attachment
2-wing introduces attachment anxiety. Fears rejection if not useful or if partner isn't 'improving.' Hyper-vigilant about relationship status.
Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment
Craves closeness and fears abandonment. Highly attuned to partner's moods and availability. May sacrifice own needs to maintain connection.
Core Belief: I am not enough on my own. I need others to feel complete. If I'm not vigilant, I will be abandoned.
Strategy: Hyper-activation—intensifies connection-seeking behaviors when threatened. Monitors partner closely for signs of withdrawal.
