Introduction to Attachment Theory: Understanding the Basics

Emotional bonding, as discussed in attachment theory, is the profound connective fabric of our interpersonal relationships, shaping the way we relate and bond with others throughout our lives. By recognizing and understanding our attachment styles—whether secure, with its sense of safety and trust, or insecure, marked by anxiety and avoidance—we unlock the potential for profound self-discovery and personal growth. These insights enable us to foster healthier, more resilient relationships, paving the way for emotional intimacy that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.
