Attachment History Timeline
Who was there, and how reaching went
A timeline of who was there and how reaching went, from earliest memory to now. Use roles, not names. Keep it brief — the point is the pattern across the line, not the detail of any one entry.
Early childhood — who I went to, and what happened when I did
Middle childhood — who noticed me, who I hid from
Adolescence — where I got closeness, and what it cost
First significant relationships — the pattern that showed up
Losses, separations, or ruptures worth marking on the line
Now — who I reach for, and how that goes
The repeated theme across the whole line
Where the line changed direction, and what changed it
