The past doesn’t have to define your future.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Wanting to be able to spend time with your family, but anytime you get around them feeling like you’d rather be anywhere else

  • Feeling less important than your siblings

  • Fearing everyone you love will leave you because you’re not good enough

  • Struggling not to feel guilty for silencing your mom’s phone calls

  • Having a hard time setting boundaries with people in your life out of fear you’ll disappoint them

  • Being told you’re “too much” or “always overreacting”

You feel like you won’t ever be accepted or belong anywhere in your life — and certainly not in your family. People tell you your emotions are too much for them to handle. You might have been told that you’ve always been this way, and you’ve heard it so many times you’ve started to believe it really is true.

FAQs about Attachment Trauma Therapy

  • Attachment trauma refers to emotional and psychological distress that occurs when early bonding experiences with primary caregivers are disrupted or unhealthy. This can happen due to neglect, abuse, inconsistent caregiving, or separation from a caregiver during critical developmental stages. Such experiences can impact a person’s ability to form secure, trusting relationships and may lead to difficulties in emotional regulation, low self-esteem, and issues with intimacy and trust.

    Attachment trauma often influences patterns of behavior and relationships throughout life, contributing to anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges.

  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (somatic therapy) helps heal attachment trauma by integrating the body into the healing process, acknowledging that trauma is often stored not just in the mind but in physical responses as well. It guides clients in becoming more aware of how their body reacts to triggers and memories related to past attachment experiences.

    Sensorimotor Psychotherapy also fosters awareness of emotional and cognitive patterns formed during early relationships. This holistic approach helps clients build a sense of safety, trust, and connection, promoting emotional healing and improved relationships.

    We will also use our therapeutic relationship, as well as your relationship with your inner child to help you create new, more positive attachment experiences
