  1. Attachment Styles: A Test for Self-Discovery

  2. What are Attachment Styles? Attachment theory was first developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth in the 1950s. It describes how people form emotional bonds and relationships based on early experiences with caregivers. There are four primary attachment styles: Secure Anxious Avoidant Disorganized

  3. The Four Attachment Styles Secure Attachment Comfortable with intimacy and independence. Healthy balance in relationships. Positive self-esteem and trust in others. Anxious Attachment Desire for closeness but fear of rejection. Overthinking or preoccupation with relationships. Avoidant Attachment Difficulty with closeness and intimacy. Tends to keep a distance in relationships. Disorganized Attachment Conflicting behaviors (wanting closeness but fearing it). Often linked to traumatic childhood experiences.

  4. The Attachment Style Test The test helps identify which attachment style you most closely align with. It includes a series of questions about how you behave in relationships and your emotional reactions to intimacy and conflict. Answer the questions honestly to get the most accurate results. Example question: "How do you feel when your partner needs space?"

  5. Why Understanding Your Attachment Style is Important? Knowing your attachment style can help improve your relationships by increasing self- awareness. Helps in building healthier, more secure connections with others. Can guide personal growth by identifying areas where you might have challenges or fears. Encourages emotional healing and understanding in both romantic and non-romantic relationships.
