Attachment-Based Therapy relies on John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory to inform the therapeutic process. Attachment Theory emphasizes the quality of an infant’s connection to its parent, most primarily its mother. If a child is adequately cared for and responded to, they will grow up to form healthy relationships. If a mother is too distant, unresponsive, or overly cautious, the infant is more likely to grow up to experience unhealthy relationships. Children must get adequate care and love to learn to trust others and themselves.
Attachment-Based Therapy’s goal is to help you rebuild the context of your relationships in more healthy, positive ways. Your therapist will show you openness, caring, and empathy. You can experience what a healthy relationship looks and feels like through this therapeutic relationship.
Although therapists can use it for individual or group therapy, you may benefit from Attachment-Based Therapy in a family therapy setting.
Your therapist will help you discover your particular attachment style based on your relationship with your parents and your early memories of family relationships. They also will explore your current relationship dynamics as they relate to your upbringing. With this understanding, you and your therapist can then begin to restructure your existing relationships based on a foundation of love and trust.

[Student Intern]. Sometimes we feel stuck, and unsure how to move forward. Trauma has a way of making us feel stuck in the past, alone, and unable to see a future free from the aftermath of these experiences. We often start to identify ourselves as these problems, but our identity and the problem are separate. This often lead to other issues: Eating disorders, insomnia, anxiety, etc. The import...

Everyone agrees life gets really hard sometimes, yet many of us grow up believing we should dig deep and tough it out. The fact is, sometimes we need a little guidance. Careers, children, relationships, friends, even exercise all compete for our limited energy and attention.

Do you and your partner feel like you've been living worlds apart? It's quiet, cold, and worst of all...lonely. Like you're not quite the same team that you once were. Barely talking, or when you do it's only to fight. You wonder, how did we ever get this way? How did the most important person in my life ...the person that once made me feel like HOME...how did they somehow turn into a total...
