Understanding Attachment Styles

Attachment styles, such as islands, anchors, and waves, play a crucial role in relationships. Islands are characterized by distancing behaviors, while on the other hand, waves exhibit clinging behaviors. An island partner may need space and privacy, and it's important to respect their independence while still showing understanding and connection. For partners who are waves seeking reassurance and fear of abandonment, it's essential to provide comforting touch, eye contact, and reassuring words to soothe their anxieties.
