Attachment theory is the theory that a person's attachment style is based on their early childhood experiences with a primary caregiver. Attachment styles then set the tone for our adult attachment and how we interact in our adult relationships (romantic relationships, friendships, working relationships, and family relationships.)

A Fearful Avoidant attachment style (also referred to as disorganized attachment style) is one of the four main attachment styles and considered to be an insecure attachment style. A Fearful Avoidant attachment develops when a child receives inconsistent emotional support and scary parental behavior during their child development. When the child grows up, they carry their experiences into their adult adult attachment, and typically have a deep fear of betrayal in their close relationships.

Attachment styles have a lifelong influence on interpersonal relationships, but with the right self awareness and self reflection, it is possible for a Fearful Avoidant person to transition away from having insecure attachment styles to having a more secure attachment style so that they and enter fulfilling relationships that feel safe.
