In happy or comfortable environment, the individual might neglect the attachment figure(s).
3. Secure Base - The attachment figure acts as a base of security from which one can explore the surrounding environment.
One comes back to narrate his/her explorations to the attachment figure.. and requires his/her approvals.
4. Separation Distress - Restlessness and stress dominate the mind, in absence of the attachment figure.
Even thoughts of going away from the attachment figure makes one unstable, and disrupts the mind.
