Deep dives
Understanding Attachment Styles
Attachment styles significantly influence adult relationships, with three main categories: secure, dismissive (avoidant), and preoccupied (anxious). Secure individuals typically have supportive childhood experiences, allowing them to manage their emotions and relationships healthily. Dismissive individuals, on the other hand, often struggle with emotional connection due to their upbringing, leading them to avoid seeking comfort from others. Preoccupied individuals constantly seek reassurance and display heightened emotional responses, stemming from inconsistent support during childhood, which causes anxiety in their adult relationships.
