Emotional Attachment is an innate need in all humans to be able to connect on an emotional level and feel affectionate with people they are close to. At any age all humans need people who they can rely on as a source of support in both good and bad times. One may even have different types and varying levels of attachments with different people in their lives. It is important to be aware of whether these emotional attachments are healthy or unhealthy
How will the worksheet help?
