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.
