Understanding Anxious Preoccupied Attachment Style

Anxious preoccupied attachment style is a significant topic in understanding adult relationship dynamics and emotional health.

These children struggle when separated from their caregivers and exhibit high stress upon their return, often remaining unable to self-soothe or regain independence.
