Selected Answer: Among the many amazing spiritual disciplines within the book, I have found silence to be the most beneficial to my spiritual development. The American culture is driven by success and consumption. Slowing down is usually out of the question for most people, but it is necessary for the Christian. I have found it personally enriching because the silence brings the brokenness of my mind and heart to the surface. I bounce between relationship styles because I am predominately disorganized. At times I will drown out all feeling like the avoidant, or overwhelmed like ambivalent but mostly confused by what is happening like the disorganized. Silence causes one to sit in the mess. The only other person who is present in my mind is God which causes me to more quickly move to him and trust him with my internal world. Response Feedback : [None Given]  Question 32 Needs Grading How does your identified attachment style (identified in question 1) influence your relationship with God? Selected Answer: I spent about three and a half years in counseling and I am thankful to say that I have moved from a disorganized attachment style to a much more secure one. However, my past still affects my relationship with God. I never struggled with the idea of whether or not God was real but rather if he was good. I experience a lot of hurt in my past and I fundamentally believed I was unworthy of love and that God was evil for having allowed certain things to happen to me. The creator of the world was abusive, unreliable and could not be trusted. Thankfully I have worked away from that way of thinking. I do experience relapses but I believe very deeply that all things work together for good for those who love God. His ideas of goodness are far better than mine, which has allowed me to trust in Him and move in a secure direction.

Describe each briefly as evidenced by Annie. Selected Answer: John Bowlby conducted an experiment in the mid-1900's that showed the stages of separation that can cause negative attachment styles. They are protest, despair, and detachment. Protest is the initial stage in separation where the child will show distress and anxiety in hopes to change their circumstances. It is the natural reaction to correct their need for relationship with their caregivers. If enough time elapses the child will sink into stage two which is despair. This is an in-between stage of acceptance for their circumstances. Their emotional outbursts subside because a melancholy has settled into their souls, because of the abandonment. This pain causes a child to finally move into stage three being detachment. The detachment can manifest in very different ways but they all have roots in selfpreservation. A child who has experienced this has learned that they cannot count on others to care for their hearts so they have to do that through the means they have available. Response Feedback: [None Given]  Question 34 Needs Grading John and Susan want to parent their children in a manner that fosters a secure relationship style. In your own words, briefly explain each of the four main goals of sensitive parenting. Selected Answer: The four main goals of sensitive parenting are regulating emotions, knowing a warm relationship, self-awareness, and developmental focus. Regulating emotions focus' on the child's emotional health. Children have to be taught how to navigate their own internal worlds. This teaches them how to self-sooth in distressing circumstances and teaches empathy for others since it broadens their understanding of emotions. Warmth is vital so that a child can have safety which allows them to flourish. It also teaches a child how to cultivate that with others outside of the parent-child relationship. Closely tied to emotional regulation is self-awareness. Self-awareness is vital because in order to be compassionate to others you first must be compassionate to yourself and that will only be accomplished with solid self-awareness. Lastly, sensitive parenting aims at teaching developmental focus. Life is constantly changing and a child needs to be prepared for that. A parent needs to be involved enough to teach a child how to succeed on their own. It is necessary for a child's development to succeed vocationally, relationally, and spiritually. Response Feedback: [None Given]  Question 35 This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :03:24 GMT -06:00 Needs Grading Child abuse is often characteristic of the disorganized attachment style. Discuss how child abuse fosters a disorganized attachment style. Selected Answer: Child abuse is one of the most detrimental experiences that a young person can be exposed to. The home is supposed to be a place of safety and nurturing. If a child does not receive these things, which are necessary for life and conversely are subjected to violence it will stunt a child's emotional development. By replacing love for hate a child's world becomes a confused mess that sometimes cannot distinguish between up and down. Right and wrong have been replaced for one another, which makes a child for a disorganized attachment style. The child might believe that they are completely worthless or deserving of their miserable life. No one around them is trustworthy and no one will be able to meet their needs. Because of this, child abuse is one of the easiest ways for a person to form a disorganized attachment style. Response Feedback: [None Given]  Question 36 Needs Grading Identify your attachment style by choosing one of the four styles presented in the book. Explain why you chose this attachment style using key terms/identifying major components of the chosen style. Selecte d Answer: As I mentioned earlier I have a disorganized attachment style. It took a long time to diagnose when I was in counseling because I would move in between avoidant and ambivalent so seamlessly, but it was out of my confusing internal world that I did not know how to navigate. One of the key characteristics to a disorganized attachment style is dissociation. I certainly learned how to do this and I have to work to be aware of when it is happening. I experienced a lot of suffering for lack of a better term and certainly believed I was worthless and deserving of everything that has happened. Conscious decisions were made in my younger years to be completely self-reliant because nobody was trustworthy. Thankfully I have moved away from this. I have moments where I can think and believe those things about myself, God and others, but I now know those are lies. Be engaging the pain I am able to reflect and see reality. God is good and I am created in his image. He designed me for Him and Others to experience the fullness of joy.
