In this e-book, I explore the profound impact of childhood experiences on adult attachment styles, drawing on the work of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. I examine how early interactions with caregivers can foster secure attachments—or contribute to insecure and avoidant patterns that continue into adult life.

​

I guide readers through the core concepts of attachment theory, showing how neglect, trauma, or inconsistent caregiving in childhood can lead to anxiety, avoidance, or ambivalence in adult relationships.

By combining Bowlby’s insights on the need for a secure base with Ainsworth’s methods for assessing attachment in children, I provide a clear understanding of how attachment styles develop and how it influences emotional connection in relationships later in life.

This e-book is written for students, psychology professionals, and anyone curious about the roots of their relational patterns. My goal is to help readers understand how early-life experiences shape the way we love, connect, and maintain close relationships as adults
