How to Become Securely Attached as an Adult -
Secure attachment is the goal. It forms when a child consistently experiences safety, attunement, and emotional connection. In adulthood, it often looks like being able to trust others, communicating your needs openly, and navigating conflict without shutting down or becoming overwhelmed. People with secure attachment look for honesty, repair, and mutual effort, they know love can feel safe and steady.

Struggling with secure attachment?

👉Start Here:
1. Practice communicating your needs clearly — Express what you feel and what you need in a direct, grounded way.
2. Practice emotional regulation — Use tools like breathwork, grounding, or pausing before reacting to calm your body.
3. Choose safe, consistent relationships — Surround yourself with people who show up, communicate, and repair.

Secure attachments are couples goals! People with secure attachments feel comfortable with closeness and independence. They communicate their needs openly, manage emotions, and trust themselves and others in relationships. This style can be nurtured at any age through self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and relationships that honor both connection and individuality. Remember, no relationship is perfect. It’s about the willingness to commit to supporting one another and choosing to grow together and individually in the relationship.

The disorganized attachment style combines anxious and avoidant traits, creating a push–pull dynamic in relationships. You may crave connection but struggle to trust it, feel unsafe both in closeness and distance, or have intense emotional reactions. Healing comes from trauma-informed support, learning to regulate emotions, and slowly building trust in relationships.

Avoidant partners often protect themselves by keeping distance in relationships. They may seem independent, detached, or emotionally closed off, but underneath, there’s a fear of being overwhelmed or losing themselves in intimacy. Healing is possible through awareness, practicing vulnerability, and learning that closeness doesn’t have to feel threatening.

Anxious attachment often feels like being on high alert in your relationship. You’re constantly scanning - does your partner seem distant? Are we loosing connection? You may feel overly responsible for keeping the relationship in a happy, good place. This doesn’t mean you’re needy, it actually means you learned early on that love wasn’t always predictable. Relationships may have felt unsafe to you and if you could hold on tight enough, prepare well enough, or keep the peace, you’d feel safer. The problem with this is that- it creates insecurity in the relationship and actually has the opposite effect, leaving your partner feeling smothered and may even push them away.

The good news? With awareness, boundaries, and self-soothing skills, you can move toward secure attachment. You are worthy of steady, consistent love from others and from yourself. 🤍
