The Strange Situation Test

from Unfastened · host AASIT

You're now free to move about the cabin! In 1969 Mary Ainsworth constructed The Stange Situation Test to deduce three different attachment styles: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant. Understanding your archetype can help you better manage all aspects of your life and live a little more unfastened. The Secure have been well attended to as children and thus are comfortable and open sharing their feelings with others. LEVERAGE your foundation of security to get out their to build an outcome your desire! However be wary of other archetypes when it comes to connections at work and romantically, and certainly be wary of your attachment to material things. The Anxious tend to carry a lot of doubt and drama. This can be a good thing when sizing people up to trust, but do eventually some in. The anxious should work on setting and making progress towards goals, as well as recognizing that material comes simply come and go. The Avoidant tends not to get too attached or open up too much. This is a win when it comes to attachment towards material things - for example, if you lose your phone just accept it and move on. However, Avoidants should realize there are others such as the Secure who are worth trusting and opening up to. Moreover, Avoidants should set clear goals to keep on track towards their realizing a future worth living!
