Attachment Therapy

Healing the Bonds We Form With Others

Attachment Therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach focused on understanding and healing the bonds we form with others, particularly those developed in early childhood. At Worth It Therapy Services, we help clients explore these foundational relationships, working to resolve attachment issues that may impact their current emotional and relational well-being.

Understanding Attachment

Attachment theory suggests that the emotional bonds we form with our primary caregivers in childhood profoundly influence our relationships throughout life. Secure attachment leads to healthy relationships, while insecure or disorganized attachment can contribute to challenges such as difficulty trusting others, fear of intimacy, or persistent feelings of loneliness.

How We Approach Attachment Therapy

We offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to attachment therapy. Our therapists work with clients to explore their attachment history and its impact on their current relationships and emotional health. Key elements of our approach include:

Attachment-Based Therapy

This therapy focuses on understanding and healing early attachment wounds. By exploring past relationships and their influence on current behavior, adult clients can develop healthier ways of connecting with others.

Attachment Focused Trauma Therapy for Adults (AFTT-A)

Attachment trauma negatively impact adults in the development of a strong sense of self and the ability to form healthy attachments in present-day relationships, including the therapy relationship. This therapy, partnered with EMDR therapy, seeks to heal the wounds of trauma by fostering secure attachment, improving emotional regulation, and helping individuals build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Practices

Developing mindfulness and self-compassion is crucial in attachment therapy. These practices help clients become more aware of their emotional patterns and respond to themselves with kindness and understanding.
