The Attachment Style Assessment

The way we attach to our romantic partner influences how we give and experience love in our relationship. The more you’re able to understand your attachment style and how it impacts your relationships, the better you’ll be equipped to find and/or cultivate a secure relationship.

What is Your Attachment Style?
The questionnaire below will help you assess your attachment style. Please pick the statement that best describes you.

“I had a long talk with my husband this week about why our sex life has declined so much. It was a hard talk, but keeping your stuff in mind really helped me keep an objective point of view until we got down to what was going on. We finally got through it. You really made a difference.”
