  • Seek other adults or inappropriate activities to soothe
  • Others “disappoint” them and client has a hard time trusting

  • Sexualized behaviors
  • Hoarding food and overeating
  • Meltdowns for hours at a time

Learning Objectives:

  3. Complete an in-depth attachment history to assess attachment wounds and disruptions
