Four distinct forms of attachment styles are recognized by therapists, counselors, and mental health experts. These characteristics or styles are based on attachment theory, which was initially put out by British psychotherapist John Bowlby in the 1960s.
Secure
Those who feel secure have healthy, realistic expectations that their own needs will be fulfilled as well as the ability to meet the needs of others.
Anxious
An anxious attachment is termed unstable and insecure with the constant need or reassurance.
Avoidant
Avoidant (also called dismissive) attachments style's main characteristic is being uncomfortable with closeness and emotional intimacy.
Fearful-Avoidant/Disordered
This attachment style is a mix of feeling anxious and insecure + feeling scared of intimacy and emotional closeness.
