Relationship 101 - Understand the 4 attachment types

How you attach to other adults strongly corresponds with how you attached to others as a child.

Four distinct styles of attachment have been identified — and perhaps recognizing yourself in one of them is the first step toward strengthening your relationships.

The four  attachment styles are:

• Secure – autonomous;

• Detached Avoidant – dismissing;

• Anxious- preoccupied  – preoccupied; and

• Disorganized/ Fearful avoidant – unresolved.

Adults with these attachment styles differ in a number of significant ways:

• how they perceive and deal with closeness and emotional intimacy.

• ability to communicate their emotions and needs, and listen to and understand the emotions and needs of their partners.

• modes of responding to conflict.

• expectations about their partner and the relationship (internal working models).

How can this course help you:
