Attachment theory helps explain why some relationships feel safe, connected, and easy to repair, while others feel stuck in the same painful cycle. In adult relationships, attachment shows up in what triggers us, how our bodies react to disconnection, and the strategies we use to get safe again. Understanding attachment can help you stop seeing your partner as the enemy and start seeing the real problem more clearly.
