If you feel insecure in your adult relationships, keep wanting to check in on a partner or starting arguments about where they have been, or if you avoid emotional intimacy and prefer to feel ‘independent’, identifying your attachment style could help you change your behaviour and improve your relationships going forward.
The three main attachment theory styles are: Anxious Attachment, Secure Attachment, and Avoidant Attachment. And here’s what they mean...and why they matter in relationships.
WHY KNOWING ATTACHMENT THEORY AND YOUR ATTACHMENT STYLE IS IMPORTANT
Barbara Honey, relationship counsellor at UK-based counselling services, Relate, says, “It’s very helpful for people to identify their attachment style, even if they’re not seeing a counsellor.” And the sooner one learns about it the better, “because if people did start thinking about it early on, and recognised they had a bit of a problem, they could do something about it before it went pear-shaped.”
