Secure Attachment

Secure Attachment

A healthy bond where a person uses their caregiver as a safe base to explore the world with confidence.

Details

Secure attachment is a healthy attachment style that forms when a caregiver provides consistent and responsive care.

People with secure attachment are able to trust others, feel comfortable in close relationships, and maintain a healthy balance between independence and reliance on others.

If you don't have secure attachment, that's okay. There's something called 'earned secure attachment' — even as an adult, you can develop secure attachment through safe and nurturing relationship experiences. — Mindy

💡 Real-Life Example

A child who plays freely when their mother is nearby, and even when she steps away, trusts that she will return soon.
