How we interact in relationships can depend on our attachment styles. Attachment begins in early childhood, is affected by our caregivers, and carries throughout our lifetime. There are 4 types of attachment.
1. Secure- you feel secure, connected, and that you and your partner are free to be yourselves.
2. Anxious Preoccupied- you may be seeking security, but you act in a way that pushes away your partner.
3. Dismissive Avoidant- you may be likely to isolate yourself and focus more on yourself.
4. Fearful Avoidant- you may be worried about being too close or too distant with your partner.
