Understanding Attachment Theory

Attachment theory revolves around the subconscious set of rules individuals develop regarding love and relationships. People can view attachment styles as different game rules when interacting with others, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts. For instance, a person who values independence in love might struggle with someone who desires constant togetherness, creating friction in the relationship. Recognizing these differing attachment styles enables individuals to communicate effectively, bridging gaps and addressing maladaptive patterns learned from childhood.
