Wing Effect on Attachment

5-wing creates 'bunker mentality.' Doesn't trust world or people. Monitors for betrayal while withdrawing for protection.

Fearful-Avoidant Attachment

Desires closeness but fears it deeply. Caught between wanting connection and fearing hurt. Often experienced as push-pull dynamics.

Core Belief: I want love but I will get hurt. People are both necessary and dangerous. I cannot trust but I cannot survive alone.
Strategy: Disorganized—oscillates between seeking closeness and pushing away. No consistent strategy for handling attachment needs.
