Understanding Different Types of Attachment
There are typically four different types of attachment: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful. Secure individuals have inherent trust in the world, while the other three types have more insecure attachment styles. Anxious individuals may have had inconsistent parenting and tend to self-abandon and overly attune to their partner. Avoidant individuals struggle with closeness and intimacy, often due to caregivers who met their needs but lacked emotional connection. Fearful attachment can stem from trauma and includes struggles with both closeness and distance. Attachment styles can influence relationships beyond romantic ones and affect how individuals respond to connection and abandonment.
