Attachment Styles in Relationships

Описание: 🧠 Attachment Styles: How We Love, Trust & Connect
What your childhood taught your nervous system about relationships
Our attachment style shapes how we seek love, handle conflict, and feel safe with others.
Here are the 4 core attachment styles — see which one feels familiar 👇
🟢 1️⃣ Secure Attachment
The Healthy Base | “Green Flag Partner” 💚
Traits
✔ Comfortable with closeness
✔ Trusts without controlling
✔ Communicates needs calmly
✔ Handles conflict maturely
In Relationships
“I trust you — and I’m also okay on my own.”
Reality
Secure attachment = emotional safety + independence.
This is learnable, not just inborn.
🟡 2️⃣ Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment
The Cravings | “When He Takes 5+ Minutes to Reply” 📱
Traits
✔ Needs constant reassurance
✔ Fear of abandonment
✔ Overthinking & emotional dependency
✔ Hyper-focused on partner
In Relationships
“Are you upset with me? Why didn’t you text?”
Reality
An anxious nervous system seeks closeness to feel safe — not weakness, but unmet emotional needs.
🔵 3️⃣ Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment
The Distant | “I Need Space” 🚪
Traits
✔ Values independence above all
✔ Suppresses emotions
✔ Discomfort with vulnerability
✔ Withdraws when intimacy deepens
In Relationships
“Stop being so needy. I need space.”
Reality
Avoidance is often self-protection, not lack of love.
🔴 4️⃣ Disorganized / Fearful-Avoidant Attachment
The Conflicted | “Push–Pull Love” ⚡
Traits
✔ Wants closeness but fears it
✔ Unpredictable emotional shifts
✔ Intense relationships
✔ Often linked to past trauma
In Relationships
“Come close… I love you.
Wait — go away. I’m scared.”
Reality
The nervous system is torn between connection and survival.
