Understanding Attachment and Its Impact on Relationships

Attachment is a fundamental aspect of our survival and social well-being as mammals. It involves the way we learn to connect and rely on our primary caregivers for safety and protection. Our attachment patterns develop early on and shape our behaviors and perceptions of ourselves and others. Understanding our attachment styles can help us recognize our own protective systems and how they influence our relationships. It allows us to be curious about our emotional responses, recognize patterns in our behavior, and work towards developing more secure and healthy connections with others.
