Knowing your attachment style can help you navigate your relationships in a much healthier way.
There are four styles of attachment.
Secure Attachment People with secure attachment styles tend to be more comfortable and satisfied in their relationships.
Theyre confident and comfortable with intimacy.
Therefore, they provide a stable and safe environment for their partners.
One or both parents probably demonstrated love in a needy way out of emotional hunger instead of love.
Their anxiety makes them feel unloved most of the time and they need constant reassurance from their partner.
Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment People with a dismissive-avoidant attachment tend to downplay the importance of a relationship in their lives.
Theyre self-reliant and constantly affirm that they dontneedanyone.
Theyre more focused on themselves than anyone else.
They shut down emotionally and isolate themselves when theyre dealing with intense emotions or problems.
They are known to be distant partners or even loners.
Fearful avoidants grew up with neglectful parents and they were scared of their caregivers most of the time.
They tend to have a negative view of themselves and others and dont trust easily.
It can also help you resolve your most convoluted childhood or abandonment issues.
