Listen "Tuesday Tips: Attached"
Episode Synopsis
There are four attachment styles that people tend to fall into: secure, anxious, avoidant, and ambivalent. Each one is characterized by a different way of relating to others, and each one can have a major impact on your relationship style. Here's a quick overview of the four attachment styles:
Secure Attachment: People with a secure attachment style are usually comfortable with intimacy and close relationships. They're able to trust their partner and feel confident that their relationship will withstand any challenges.
Anxious Attachment: People with an anxious attachment style tend to be preoccupied with their relationships. They're always worried about being rejected or abandoned and may go to great lengths to keep their partner from leaving them.
Avoidant Attachment: People with an avoidant attachment style tend to be uncomfortable with intimacy and close relationships. They often keep their distance from their partner and may even try to sabotage their relationship.
Ambivalent Attachment: People with an ambivalent attachment style have a mix of both anxious and avoidant tendencies. They're usually afraid of being rejected or abandoned, but they also have a hard time trusting their partner.
If you're not sure which attachment style you have, don't worry. Many people have a mix of different styles, and your attachment style can change over time. The important thing is to be aware of your own tendencies and to work on creating a healthy relationship that works you .
trauma: People who have experienced trauma often have trouble with trust and intimacy. They may find it hard to let anyone into their lives for fear of being hurt again. If you've been through a traumatic experience, it's important to get help from a therapist or counselor who can help you work through your fears and learn how to create healthy, trusting relationships.
