You’ve heard about attachment from your friends, or your sister. You’ve seen it discussed and dissected on TikTok and Instagram. It feels like you’ve found the answer to all your dating troubles! Or the challenges with your annoying family! You can finally diagnose yourself and others via the four attachment styles and put everyone into neat boxes.
In reality, attachment theory is a lot more expansive and nuanced than social media would have us believe. Understanding what attachment style you may have can be helpful, but it’s also crucial to know how to move from insecure attachment styles to create secure attachment in adulthood. This work is not easy, and requires genuine commitment to self-reflection and a willingness to confront unhealthy behaviours and dynamics.
My background in attachment and trauma work means that I get really excited about doing this deep work in therapy. Clients often describe me as kind, but persistent in confronting ongoing issues in their relationships. I genuinely believe that if you are willing to *go there* we can make real progress together.
