non-attached

• left open-mouthed after reading today’s thought for the day: As long as I have lived in Britain* I have felt that the concept of attachment is a mistaken if not a sick one: And finally here is someone else saying it! I gratefully also remember the friend with a small child who did not even use it for the child but spoke about her being connected, safely, securely.

*Britain is mentioned as I do not know of a comparable concept in my first language, German. But I am sure mainstream Psychology/Psychiatry will have come up with something – or even taken on the Anglo-American one.
