“So attachment is critical. Adult attachment styles have been related to memories of early childhood events. And they suggest that the encoding of memories and the retrieval of these members may activate the attachment system…For example, avoidant adults, they have difficulties to access negative emotional experiences from childhood. Ambivalent adults, they have no problem. They access these negative experiences very easily. So attachment theory seems to sit well, explain well the propensity, the proclivity to generate false memories. Because consistent with attachment theory, adults with avoidant attachment styles, like their child counterparts, they may attempt to suppress physiological and emotional reactions to activation of the attachment system.” (Vaknin, 7)
