The four common attachment styles are secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-anxious,
and disorganized (also known as fearful-avoidant). Attachment styles are not static; they
can change and evolve over time. While attachment styles form during early childhood
based on interactions with caregivers, they can be influenced and modified by various
life experiences, personal growth, therapy, and self-awareness.
