About Attachment Trauma Therapy

The earliest attachment relationships, formed between an infant and caregiver, lay a vital foundation for a person's life. This foundation impacts your ability to navigate the world with confidence and security. It also shapes your capacity to form healthy, loving relationships.

Often, however, attachment trauma occurs. These are deeply impactful experiences that create lasting internal patterns. This can lead to what we call anxious or avoidant attachment styles. This trauma can result in negative, self-defeating thoughts and unhealthy coping behaviors. You might recognize this in symptoms such as:

• Persistent Anxiety
• Depression
• Addiction
• Personality Disorders
• Chronic Relationship Issues (e.g., cycles of pushing and pulling)
• Profound Feelings of Not Being "Enough"
• Difficulty trusting yourself or others

Please know: these experiences do not have to define your future. Healing from attachment trauma is possible.
