Experience Relationships That Feel Safe
Does this sound familiar?
You know the feeling. Checking your phone to see if they answered. Reading into a short reply. Feeling okay only when things between you are good, and thrown off for the rest of the day when they are not. Needing closeness or reassurance and sometimes hating how much you need it.
Anxious attachment therapy heals what is underneath that fear. Instead of just managing the anxiety, we work with the experiences that shaped how you love, so relationships stop feeling unsafe or like something you have to hold onto.
How Do You Approach Anxious Attachment and Relationship Wounds?
Most advice about anxious attachment tells you to manage it. Wait longer to text back, communicate better, self-soothe. If you have tried that, you know it does not reach the part of you that is afraid of being left. We work underneath the anxiety instead. We go to the old hurt that taught you love could disappear, and to the part of you that has been on guard ever since. As that heals, the fear quiets. You trust yourself again, you can tell the difference between old fear and a real warning, and you stop abandoning yourself to keep someone else.
Who Is Attachment Therapy For?
You find yourself in a pattern of feeling anxious in relationships, getting hurt, and questioning your self worth
You are still carrying a betrayal or a breakup that changed how you see yourself
You are afraid of being left or abandoned, and that fear shapes how you show up in relationships.
You lose yourself in relationships, putting someone else's needs ahead of your own and don't feel confident stating your needs.
Anxious Attachment and Relationship Wound Therapy Can Help With
What to Expect In Therapy
We start by getting clear on what has been happening in your relationships and what you want them to feel like instead. From there we go to what is underneath the anxiety, at a pace that works for you. You will never be pushed to open something before you are ready, and you always have a say in how we work.
- A sense of worth that does not depend on how someone is treating you.
- The ability to regulate yourself when the fear or anxiety shows up.
- Knowing what you will and will not accept, and holding to it.
- Feeling more grounded, regulated, and at home in yourself.
