Attachment theory categorizes attachment styles into anxious, avoidant, and disorganized based on the relationship between a baby and primary caregiver. An anxious attachment style is developed with inconsistent or absent caregivers, leading to abandonment issues. Avoidant attachment style arises from caregivers who meet physical needs but lack emotional attunement, requiring space for nervous system regulation. Anxious and avoidant individuals often attract each other, creating the anxious-avoidant dance. Disorganized attachment results from abuse or extreme terror, causing a fear of getting too close or leaving due to conflicting caregiver behaviors.
