What is the Secure Attachment Style

what is secure attachment

Secure attachment, according to the attachment theory, is a psychological and emotional bond that develops between individuals, typically starting in infancy and extending throughout one’s life. It forms the basis of how we connect with others, particularly in close relationships. 

In the context of secure attachment, individuals feel comfortable exploring the world, knowing they have a reliable and responsive base (i.e. parent during childhood and romantic partner as an adult) to return to in times of distress or uncertainty.

This secure base provides a sense of safety and allows individuals to venture out, confident that they can cope with challenges because they have the support of their attachment figure.

Securely attached individuals tend to have a positive view of themselves and others. They are able to trust others, express their needs and emotions openly, and believe they are worthy of love and care.

They have a balanced approach to relationships, valuing both independence and intimacy. Most importantly, they can manage conflicts and separations effectively, understanding that they can reconnect with their loved ones after periods of disagreement or distance.

This secure attachment style is believed to be crucial for healthy emotional and social development. It provides a stable foundation for individuals to form healthy relationships, navigate challenges, and cope with the ups and downs of life.

Securely attached individuals often exhibit greater resilience, empathy, and emotional intelligence, which enables them to develop positive, supportive relationships with others.
