Prof Gillath said that since the categories are based on large samples of statistics, they won’t be a perfect fit for anyone. Everyone can be a little anxious or a little avoidant, depending on circumstances.

For some people, the label could do more harm than good.

What you think about your attachment style might be completely wrong What's your attachment style? Why does it matter? Since Dr. Amir Levine wrote the book “Attached,” which popularized the concept, attachment style has entered the mainstream in discussions about relationships.

Happy Halloween 🎃
Prof. Gillath said things like haunted houses or roller coasters allow us to push beyond our boundaries and experience something out of the ordinary. But in a controlled way.
“So, we can run away … or we can stand and fight,” Gillath said. “But after that, the body is releasing all of these feel-good neurotransmitters who are allowing you to basically relax and reach this level of like … a boost that people enjoy.”
