You’ve probably heard some version of: The type of attachment you have with your parents or caregivers as a young person, helps inform how you operate in intimate relationships. Makes sense in theory, right?

The theory we’re talking about is Attachment Theory.  You may have read up on your attachment style, seen a post on it, or even taken a quiz to figure out what attachment style you or a loved one would fall under - but there’s a lot more nuance to the theory.
