Secure Attachment
A pattern indicating comfort with closeness and independence, with relatively stable trust and lower fear-driven reactivity in relationships.
What This Really Means
Secure attachment in reports is a self-report pattern, not a diagnosis.
It often predicts easier repair, clearer consent communication, and less escalation during conflict.
Cultural norms influence how security is expressed (direct reassurance vs quiet reliability).
Examples
Can say no without panic
Handles conflict with repair
Feels connected without constant reassurance.

Secure Attachment doesn’t automatically mean no insecurities, and context still matters.
Secure Attachment isn’t an all-the-time rule, and it can change with context and timing.
Secure Attachment isn’t a synonym for “best” and others are bad, and it points to a pattern indicating comfort with closeness and independence, with relatively stable trust and lower fear-driven reactivity in relationships.
Boundaries still matter, even when Secure Attachment is in the picture.
