# Attach & Release

> Attach & Release is a comprehensive resource on attachment theory applied to adult relationships. Founded by Krishna, it explores how childhood bonding patterns shape adult love — and how to heal them. The site covers all four attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized), the anxious-avoidant trap, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and spiritual perspectives including Vedanta, Buddhism, and the Sedona Method.
