β€œWe’re in this together. Let’s talk through it β€” not around it.”

Attachment Matchups: How It Feels

  • πŸ’¬ Secure + Secure: Steady rhythm. Emotional safety. Mutual accountability.
  • πŸ’¬ Secure + Anxious: The secure partner brings reassurance β€” no guessing games.
  • πŸ’¬ Secure + Avoidant: A chance for deeper intimacy, if both commit to honest reflection.

Here’s the truth: Secure attachment is not a personality trait β€” it's a skill. It’s built through awareness, boundaries, vulnerability, and time. Even if you’re not here yet β€” you’re not far. Growth lives in the effort.
