Secure
Attachment style
Trusts that the bond can withstand real life — conflicts included.
Model of self
positive — “I am worthy of care”
Model of the other
positive — “people will be there”
Light
Gives and receives support without keeping score. Conflict becomes a conversation, not a catastrophe.
Shadow
Can underestimate how much others struggle with what feels simple to you.

Secure attachment isn’t the absence of need — it is the calm confidence that needing someone won’t destroy you, and that being needed won’t imprison you. Closeness and autonomy coexist without war.
In conflict, self-worth doesn’t collapse and the relationship isn’t held hostage: you argue, you talk, you repair. It is this capacity for repair, more than the absence of rupture, that defines security.
This is a result of this lens — not a destiny. In the crossing, it gains or loses relief as the other eleven lenses agree with it or pull against it.
