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
