What Are Attachment Wounds?

Attachment wounds often come from the places we were supposed to feel safe—but didn’t. That could mean:

• Emotional neglect or inconsistent caregiving
• Criticism or rejection when you needed comfort
• Feeling responsible for others’ emotions as a child
• Losing a caregiver or experiencing ongoing relational trauma

These early disruptions can shape adult experiences of intimacy, conflict, boundaries, and self-worth. You might find yourself over-giving, pulling away, fearing abandonment, or struggling to trust—even when you want to connect.

Healing doesn’t mean blaming your past. It means finally caring for the parts of you that didn’t get what they needed.

How Therapy Can Help

In our work together, we’ll create a space that feels consistent, safe, and honoring of your boundaries. You don’t have to perform or pretend. You don’t have to earn care here.

We’ll gently explore:

• How early attachment dynamics shaped your current relational patterns
• What your nervous system has learned to expect in relationships
• How to set boundaries without guilt
• How to stay present when closeness or conflict feels overwhelming
• How to reconnect with your core needs and emotions

This isn’t about “fixing” your attachment style. It’s about understanding your story—and giving yourself what you were missing.

Signs You Might Be Navigating Attachment Wounds

You don’t need a diagnosis to know that something hurts. But common signs of attachment-related challenges include:

• Feeling anxious or overly preoccupied in relationships
• Difficulty trusting others or letting people in
• Pulling away emotionally or feeling numb under stress
• Fear of abandonment or being “too much”
• Repeating painful patterns in intimacy and friendships

You might feel like you’re always trying to manage relationships instead of experiencing them. That can change—with time, care, and curiosity.

Our Approach Together

This work is gentle, relational, and paced according to your nervous system—not a timeline.

In session, you can expect to:

• Slow down and notice your body’s cues around safety or shutdown
• Explore your attachment patterns without shame
• Practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more authentic
• Build the capacity to receive care, hold boundaries, and trust yourself

We’ll also draw from other supportive modalities when helpful—like mindfulness and breathwork to ground your body, trauma-informed practices to honor your nervous system, and holistic approaches that care for your whole self: mind, body, and spirit.

You weren’t meant to navigate this alone.
Let’s build something different—together.
