Secure Attachment
A balanced style where you feel comfortable with closeness, trust, and independence in relationships. People with secure attachment usually find it easier to communicate needs, set healthy boundaries, and feel safe in connections.
Anxious Attachment
Often marked by a strong need for closeness and reassurance, but also a fear of abandonment. This style can bring deep care for others, yet sometimes create worry about being “too much” or not enough.
Avoidant Attachment
Characterized by valuing independence and sometimes keeping emotional distance to feel safe. While avoidant styles can foster strength and self-reliance, they can also make it difficult to ask for support or open up fully in relationships.
Disorganized (Fearful-Avoidant) Attachment
A mix of both anxious and avoidant traits, often linked to past pain or inconsistent caregiving. This style may lead to wanting closeness while also feeling fear or mistrust. With support, it’s possible to create more safety, stability, and trust in relationships.
