Understanding the role of attachment styles in affecting our inner peace can be transformative. Attachment styles, formed during early childhood, can influence our emotions, relationships, and coping mechanisms.

Those with insecure attachment styles - anxious, avoidant, and disorganised - may experience more inner turbulence due to their heightened fear of loss, rejection, and intimacy. Signs of disturbed inner peace may include low self-esteem, frequent pessimism, feelings of isolation, neglect of self-care, and resorting to harmful substances. Recognising these signs is the first step towards restoring balance. Delving into personal development work, understanding our behaviours, and seeking professional help are key to overcoming these challenges and achieving inner peace.

Rules are mainly about distance and closeness. Similarly, attachment styles can be distinguished by either a fear of being abandoned or a fear of intimacy – and these fears influence how people react when their rules are broken.
