Do you know what your attachment style is?
Each of us develops an attachment style early in life - it’s solidified by about age 3 - that we take with us into future relationships. While we can’t change our style, we can use it to provide context for our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in relationships.

Secure attachment
Anxious attachment
Avoidant attachment
Anxious-avoidant attachment
