Attachment theory suggests that the way we experience and navigate relationships as adults is rooted in our early interactions with caregivers, typically our parents. This theory, developed by psychologists such as John Bully and Mary Ainsworth, proposes that the security and quality of these early attachments influence our expectations, behaviors, and emotional responses in subsequent relationships. There are four main adult attachment styles, secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized, each resulting from different patterns of attachment experienced during childhood.
