Attachment Theory

Director: Michael Fels

This film shows the types of attachment styles people have in relationships according too attachment theory. 1st is a woman with a SECURE attachment style where she knows her worth and communicates her needs/healthy boundaries. 2nd is an ANXIOUS attachment style where she needs her partner and fears abandonment so she takes back a man who undervalues her. She does not state her own needs/boundaries. 3rd is a DISMISSIVE avoidant attachment style where she pushes her partner away by being cruel and using strong boundaries to avoid intimacy. 4th is a FEARFUL AVOIDANT attachment style where she switches from pushing away her partner and needing closeness/validation. She settles for physical closeness rather then emotional intimacy.
