Many people exhibit a blend of different attachment styles, depending on the context, relationship, or period of life they\u2019re in. For example, you might feel secure in your friendships but have anxious tendencies in romantic relationships, or you might switch between avoidant and anxious behaviors depending on the dynamics in a relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e05b6100 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-left-color:#4c3d6b;border-left-width:4px;border-left-style:solid;border-radius:0px;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:34px;padding:2px 0px 2px 26px\">\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#6d6675;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:9px;font-size:12px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.14em;line-height:1.4\">Maya<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1e1a24;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.511), 18.5px);line-height:1.62\">Maya generally feels confident and secure in her close friendships, where she\u2019s able to express her needs and trust her friends. However, when it comes to romantic relationships, she often worries about being abandoned and needs constant reassurance from her partner. This shows a mix of secure and anxious attachment tendencies.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family\" id=\"why-does-this-happen\" style=\"color:#4c3d6b;margin-top:50px;margin-bottom:13px;font-size:clamp(15.197px, 0.95rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.887), 23px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;line-height:1.28\">Why does this happen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1e1a24;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:26px;font-size:clamp(14.082px, 0.88rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.786), 21px);line-height:1.68\">Different life experiences can shape how we relate to others. For instance, a person may have developed secure attachments in childhood but experienced betrayal or trauma in adult relationships, causing them to develop more avoidant or anxious tendencies over time. Similarly, a person with an anxious attachment style may work on their emotional regulation and develop more secure traits over time through therapy and personal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1e1a24;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:26px;font-size:clamp(14.082px, 0.88rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.786), 21px);line-height:1.68\">Recognizing that you can have elements of more than one attachment style can be empowering. It means you\u2019re not \u201cstuck\u201d in one mode of relating to others, and you have the ability to adapt and evolve in different relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d2a766d4 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:92px;margin-bottom:34px\"><div class=\"att att-part\"><div class=\"no\">04<\/div><div class=\"tx\"><p class=\"lb\">Part four of four<\/p><h2 id=\"part-4\">None of this is fixed<\/h2><p class=\"sb\">What can move, what moves it, and where a therapist actually helps<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d12c95ff wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family\" id=\"can-your-attachment-style-change\" style=\"color:#4c3d6b;margin-top:80px;margin-bottom:20px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.989), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;line-height:1.28\">Can your attachment style change?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1e1a24;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:26px;font-size:clamp(14.082px, 0.88rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.786), 21px);line-height:1.68\">The good news is that <strong class=\"eqb\">attachment styles are not set in stone<\/strong>. With awareness and work, individuals can move toward a more secure attachment style. Therapy is an especially effective way to explore attachment patterns and develop healthier relationship habits. For instance, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help reframe unhelpful beliefs about relationships, while Attachment-Based Therapy focuses directly on addressing the impact of early life experiences on current relationship dynamics. Mindfulness practices can also help people with anxious or avoidant tendencies stay present in their relationships, reducing fear and improving communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family\" id=\"where-therapy-fits\" style=\"color:#4c3d6b;margin-top:80px;margin-bottom:20px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.989), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;line-height:1.28\">Where therapy fits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1e1a24;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:26px;font-size:clamp(14.082px, 0.88rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.786), 21px);line-height:1.68\">If you\u2019re curious about your own attachment style and how it may be influencing your relationships, exploring this with a therapist can be a valuable first step. Understanding your attachment style can help you uncover patterns that may be affecting your emotional well-being and interpersonal connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1e1a24;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:26px;font-size:clamp(14.082px, 0.88rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.786), 21px);line-height:1.68\">During therapy, you can work through your early childhood experiences, current relationship dynamics, and personal emotional responses to better understand your attachment style. Whether you find yourself identifying with one style or a mix of several, a therapist can guide you in recognizing these patterns and helping you develop healthier relational habits.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d2a766d4 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-526d54f9 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#faf7fb;border-color:#e6e1e8;border-width:1.5px;border-style:solid;border-radius:18px;margin-top:52px;margin-bottom:44px;padding:30px 34px\">\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#6d6675;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:14px;font-size:12px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.16em;line-height:1.4\">REFERENCES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-text-color has-work-sans-regular-font-family\" style=\"color:#544c60;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:14px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.227), 16px);line-height:1.7\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4324\/9781315802428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color:inherit;text-decoration:underline;text-underline-offset:3px;text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-decoration-color:rgba(76,61,107,.42)\">Ainsworth, M.
