Attachment Theory in Psychotherapy

Attachment Theory in psychotherapy explains how early relationships with caregivers shape our emotional patterns and how we connect with others throughout life. Secure attachments foster trust and healthy relationships, while insecure attachments may lead to difficulties in trusting or intimacy. In therapy, understanding these attachment patterns helps individuals explore the roots of their emotional responses and relationship behaviors, promoting healing and healthier connections. It emphasizes that our early bonds influence our current relationships, but with awareness and support, these patterns can be modified for improved emotional well-being.
