Is Modern Child-Rearing Dysfunctional?
“Modern child-rearing leaves most people suffering from symptoms of insecure attachment: self-hatred, disembodiment, lack of grounding, chronic insecurity and anxiety, overactive minds, lack of basic trust, and a deep sense of inner deficiency” (Wellwood, 2011, p. 2). What do you think about this? I’m curious to know. I came across this when I was studying for my Master’s Degree. I was drawn to it because I see these symptoms all the time in my clinic and have felt some of them myself. The overactive mind, a sense of inner deficiency, anxiety and disembodiment. These things do seem to be chronic in our cultures.
