💫 The 4 S’s of Secure Attachment by Dr. Dan Siegel 💫
Creating secure attachments with those we care about isn’t just about what we do but how we show up. Dr. Dan Siegel’s 4 S’s—Seen, Safe, Soothed, and Secure—capture the essential ingredients of nurturing, supportive relationships.
✨ Seen: Truly seeing someone means being present and recognizing their inner world—their feelings, needs, and experiences.
✨ Safe: When we provide a sense of safety, we create a space free of fear or harm, allowing the other person to feel protected.
✨ Soothed: Comforting and calming someone when they’re upset or distressed fosters a sense of trust and reassurance.
✨ Secure: When someone feels seen, safe, and soothed consistently, they develop a secure sense of self and a confidence that they are worthy of love and connection.
These 4 S’s remind us that secure attachment is built through small, consistent acts of care that create a lasting bond. 🤍
