Attachment Theory: Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized Attachment

Attachment theory describes how early relationships with caregivers can shape patterns of emotional connection in adulthood, including anxious attachment (fear of abandonment), avoidant attachment (discomfort with closeness), and disorganized attachment (a mix of fear and confusion in relationships). Understanding these attachment styles can help individuals recognize relationship patterns and work toward healthier, more secure connections through therapy and self-awareness.
