In Chapter 3 of Secure Love, we begin one of the most foundational steps in the healing process—identifying your attachment style. In this session, I guide readers through recognizing the patterns that shape how they relate, connect, and protect themselves in relationships. We talk through common questions about mixed signals, overlapping styles, and what to do if you're still not sure where you land. This chapter isn’t about labeling yourself—it’s about understanding the emotional strategies that once kept you safe and learning how to respond to them with awareness and compassion.
