Feeling disconnected in your relationships? Queer Attachment Trauma could be a factor!
You didn’t choose your attachment style, it’s just the “map to safety” your nervous system created. Problem is…survival strategies don’t often lead us to thriving relationships.
What we know from attachment theory:
• your attachment style is not a conscious choice
• it’s a pattern your nervous system developed in response to your earliest relationships and the safety (or threat) you experienced
• if connection felt inconsistent, conditional, or unsafe, your body adapted by creating a strategy (anxious, avoidant, etc.) to protect you
Queer attachment trauma is shaped not just by childhood bonds, but by societal rejection, coming out experiences, religious trauma and the constant question of safety and belonging. That’s why queer attachment wounds can run deeper—but so can queer healing.
Your attachment style is not your fault. But healing it? That’s your superpower!

Remember, attachment style is not a diagnosis or disorder.
