Psychology distinguishes between four main types of relationships:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Secure binding type<\/strong> - You feel comfortable with closeness and trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anxious attachment type<\/strong> - You need a lot of reassurance and have <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/fear\/\">Fear<\/a> from rejection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoidant attachment type<\/strong> - You find it difficult to be close, you prefer to keep your distance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anxious-avoidant attachment type<\/strong> - You want to be close, but are afraid of it at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Your attachment type influences how you experience and shape relationships. But how do you know which attachment type you are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welcher-bindungstyp-bin-ich-mache-den-test\">What type of bond am I?

They need a lot of reassurance and often interpret signals from their partner as rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Anna writes a message to her boyfriend Tom and doesn't receive an answer straight away. Instead of staying calm, she imagines all kinds of negative scenarios. She feels <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/insecurity\/\">unsafe<\/a>even though Tom is just sitting in a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To break out of this pattern <strong>Coaching<\/strong> and <strong>Meditation<\/strong>to develop emotional security from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welche-bindungstypen-passen-zusammen\">Which bond types go together?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether a relationship works depends not only on love, but also on the dynamics of the attachment types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safe &amp; anxious:<\/strong> The safe partner provides support, but the anxious one has to learn to calm himself down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safe &amp; preventive:<\/strong> A secure partner can offer closeness without putting pressure on the other person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anxious &amp; avoidant:<\/strong> This combination can be challenging, as closeness and distance have to be constantly renegotiated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you curious about what your attachment type says about your relationship?
