1. What are attachment patterns?
Attachment patterns are the ways in which we relate to others in our lives, especially when it comes to emotional connections. They are often shaped by our early experiences, particularly with our primary caregivers.
There are four basic attachment styles: secure, anxious-ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized. People can usually be categorized into one of these categories based on their behaviors and interactions with others.
- Secure attachment is characterized by a positive view of self and others, and a secure base from which to explore the world.
- Anxious-ambivalent attachment is characterized by a negative view of self and a clingy, dependent behavior towards others.
