Attachment theory, originated by John Bowlby and empirically developed by Mary Ainsworth, describes how early bonds with caregivers create enduring patterns for how we relate to others throughout life. These patterns — called attachment styles — powerfully influence our behavior in romantic relationships, friendships, and even workplace dynamics.

Research has identified four adult attachment styles: Secure (comfortable with intimacy and interdependence), Anxious (preoccupied with relationship security), Avoidant (prioritizes self-sufficiency, uncomfortable with closeness), and Fearful-Avoidant (desires connection but fears it). Understanding your style is one of the most transformative insights you can gain about yourself.
