If you've suffered from anxiety, depression or relationship problems, a psychological theory called attachment theory can help you get to the root cause of your difficulties and give you a greater understanding of what's going on.
Attachment theory was developed by British psychiatrist John Bowlby in the 1960s. The theory explains how our brains are programmed to help us survive and thrive in the environment we are born into.Our self-esteem, ability to control our emotions and the quality of our relationships are all affected by our attachment style. We've known for over 50 years that attachment styles can predict and explain children's behaviour. More recent research has shown that attachment styles also continue to affect our behaviour in adulthood.

More recent research has shown that attachment styles also continue to affect our behaviour in adulthood.
The benefits of a secure attachment are numerous including confidence, happiness, trust, love, safety, and faith in the security of one's relationships. Let's explore just a few of the benefits in the context of couples and marriage therapy.
Trust
Securely attached adults tend to be more trusting in their relationships. Children with a secure attachment see their parents as a safe and secure base from which they can venture out and independently explore the world. When a secure adult has a similar relationship with their romantic partner, it allows for feelings of safety, security and connectedness, even when either partner is pursuing independent endeavors.
Comfort
Securely attached adults feel they can go to their partner for comfort in times of stress or anxiety. They feel their partner will offer support when needed most. They understand that their partner also has their best interests in mind. Their relationship tends to be honest, open and respectful. In life, conflict can be expected. How you handle conflict often determines the outcome. Having a secure attachment with your partner can dramatically improve how you manage conflict both within and outside of the relationship.
Happiness
A secure attachment between two people in a relationship leads to happier couples. Investing time, intentionality, and understanding can help nurture a secure attachment. Some children are raised in homes where they experienced a secure attachment with their parents, others may not have. Attachment research informs us that those who do have more secure attachments have healthier relationships. This in turn leads to happier and more positive relationships. A partner in whom you can confide, laugh with, and share life with is fulfilling. When you are also able to disagree or argue with your partner knowing that they won't leave or abandon you also makes for a healthy relationship. This is secure attachment.
That's enough, get this guide now to learn everything about attachment styles, how you can identify it in both adult and kids, how to deal and cope with various styles, how to build secure attachment stlyes and many more.
