Are you feeling low? Maybe you’re a recent college graduate who started a new job and it wasn’t what you thought it would be. Maybe you’ve been married a while and feel like you don’t know how to talk to your partner anymore. Maybe you’re a teen, struggling to make friends. Maybe you’ve never truly felt understood.

You smile and say "I'm fine". People believe you because it looks like you have your life mostly together. You even have a hard time acknowledging your problems. You know deep down you're not fine, though. You hate to have people worry about you. You know people care, but it's hard to open up to people and trust that they'll be there for you. You shoulder a lot on your own. Guilt? Yep. People have told you you're great at blaming yourself. You're also great at over-thinking. Questioning and second-guessing yourself is common, and you wonder if there's anyway to really slow down and find a different path forward.

Attachment-based Therapists

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?

Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.

What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?

Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.

How long does attachment-based therapy last?

Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.

Does attachment-based therapy work?

Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
