The Importance of Secure Attachment

Secure attachment promotes trust, connection, and the ability to maintain deep and fulfilling relationships. It involves being able to rely on others while also feeling confident in oneself. Secure attachment is not about feeling constantly secure or confident, but rather about being open to influence and actively seeking connection with others. It requires mutual give-and-take, the ability to set boundaries without fear of loss, and a willingness to repair and apologize when needed.
