The Meg Hulme Show

An Overview of the Four Attachment Styles

Megan Hulme Season 1 Episode 10

In today's episode we dive into Attachment Style Theory.  What are attachment styles?  Attachment styles or types reflect how you behave in a romantic relationship and are based on the emotional connection you formed as an infant with your primary caregiver—often your mother. 

  • Secure attachment
  • Anxious attachment
  • Avoidant attachment
  • Disorganized attachment

Remember, this is not a diagnosis and we all embody all attachment styles but some may be more dominant than others at different times.  For example, if you find yourself in a relationship where you are demonstrating more anxious traits, this could be due to the environment that you're in rather than who you are at the core.  Your attachment style can vary from relationship to relationship.  

Finally, it's important that when you're in a relationship, understanding your partners dominant attachment style can be incredibly helpful in navigating conflict and stressful situations.
