How Attachment Based Therapy Works:
By working with the present moment experience of the relationship with the therapist clients have an opportunity to better understand their relational templates that arise unconsciously. Specifically noticing what arises that blocks out a sense of safety & belonging and also learn & strengthen their pathways for fully feeling and taking in present moment goodness.
In individual therapy: Through attuned therapeutic relationship and experiential exploration counselor and client create the conditions needed for healing earlier attachment wounding.
In couples therapy: Through present moment engagement with partner, couples move towards greater secure functioning. And potentially create the conditions for the relationship to support healing related to needs for intimacy, autonomy, and security.
