The Attachment Theory

Having stumbled across the attachment style theory myself a few years ago, I was both astounded and fascinated about how much sense it made to me.

Guiding you on your own journey towards wholeness, wouldn't be complete if I didn't include the attachment style theory.

I am just going to outline the basics, but I truly hope you explore more about it in your own time

WHAT IS THE ATTACHMENT THEORY?

The attachment theory is a scientific framework that helps us understand how we experience love, dating and relationships.

Our attachment style blueprint is directly connected to how we relate to others in our adult relationships.

The behaviours we exhibit and the way we tend to think and feel, are intricately linked between what we learned from our parents, caregivers and friends in childhood and adolescence, and from our early attachment figures and romantic partners.

As a result, we tend to carry this behaviour forward and experience similar relationship dynamics throughout our lifetime.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

ANXIOUS PREOCCUPIED - Fears the relationship needs won't get met.

DISMISSIVE AVOIDANT - Avoids emotional intimacy, needs alone time

FEARFUL AVOIDANT - Fears intimacy and craves it simultaneously.

SECURE ATTATCHMENT - Trusting and dependable in relationships
