Research-backed assessment of attachment patterns based on Bowlby, Ainsworth, and modern attachment science
Your attachment style—formed in your first 2 years of life—profoundly affects your adult relationships, emotional regulation, conflict patterns, and even physical health. Secure attachment predicts better mental health, longer relationships, and greater life satisfaction. Insecure attachment (anxious or avoidant) correlates with anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.
The good news? Attachment is NOT fixed. Research shows "earned secure attachment" is possible through therapy, healthy relationships, and self-awareness. Our assessment is the first step toward understanding and healing your attachment wounds.
