The four attachment styles — and what they mean for you
Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby and expanded by researchers like Sue Johnson and Stan Tatkin, explains how childhood experiences shape adult relationship patterns.
Secure Attachment
Comfortable with intimacy and interdependence. The goal for all couples.
Anxious Attachment
Craves closeness but fears abandonment, often leading to protest behaviors.
Avoidant Attachment
Values independence and may withdraw from intimacy to manage overwhelming emotions.
Disorganized Attachment
Simultaneous desire for and fear of closeness, often linked to unresolved early experiences.
