Our first relationship with our parents as infants often sets the stage for our attachment style. According to psychiatrist Dr. John Bowlby, the four attachment styles include secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized.

Do you feel unfulfilled by your current relationships or friendships? Maybe you worry your partner isn’t “the one”, or maybe you’re struggling to find “the one”.

Perhaps you’ve recently experienced a break-up and are feeling overwhelming grief or existential questions about who you are, what defines your worth, and what you value.

Maybe you’re stuck in a codependent relationship with a parent, partner, or child.

Luckily, this means you’re ready to understand how your past impacts your present and how your attachment style may be holding you back from the relationships you truly desire.

  Attachment Wounds Explained:

• Emotional Detachment is a protective response that can develop when connection feels unsafe. You may appear calm or independent on the outside, but struggle to access or express your emotions, even in close relationships. It can feel like being disconnected from your own inner world—or from the people who matter most.

• Anxious Attachment often shows up as fear of abandonment, overthinking, or needing reassurance in relationships. You might worry you’re “too much” or that people will leave if you don’t prove your worth. It can feel like you’re constantly scanning for signs that your relationships are slipping away.

• Avoidant Attachment can look like self-sufficiency, but underneath is often a fear that closeness leads to disappointment or overwhelm. You may pull away when things get emotionally intense or feel pressure to manage everything on your own. Relationships can feel safest when they’re kept at a distance.

• Disorganized Attachment is rooted in relationships that felt both unsafe and unpredictable. It can involve a push-pull dynamic: craving closeness one moment and shutting down the next. If you’ve experienced early trauma or emotional neglect, this style may feel like constant internal confusion about what to trust—yourself, others, or your instincts.
