What You'll Learn

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the four attachment styles?
- The four attachment styles are secure, anxious (preoccupied), dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant (disorganized). Each is a strategy your nervous system learned for staying safe in connection — based largely on whether early caregiving was consistent, dismissive, or frightening.
- Is this a clinical diagnosis?
- No. This is an educational self-reflection tool inspired by attachment theory and CBT. It is not a diagnostic instrument and should not replace professional mental health support.
- Can attachment styles change?
- Yes. Attachment patterns are learned, not fixed. Research on neuroplasticity shows the patterns your brain learned can be interrupted and, over time, rewired — especially by catching and reframing the thoughts your style generates in real time.
