Adult Attachment Styles

Adult attachment styles describe how people form emotional bonds and approach relationships based on their early experiences with caregivers. There are four main styles: 1. **Secure**: Comfortable with intimacy and interdependence. 2. **Anxious**: Crave closeness but fear abandonment, often needing reassurance. 3. **Avoidant**: Prefer emotional distance, find it hard to trust or rely on others. 4. **Disorganized**: Display confusion in relationships, may oscillate between anxious and avoidant behaviors. Understanding these styles can help individuals improve their relationships and address interpersonal challenges.
