在咨询里我常常与这样的你共同探索身处的困境，找到自处以及与世界共处的方式： 1）那个长期不被看见的你：那个总觉得“我不够好”而不敢发声的你、那个因为性少数群体的身份而被污名化的你、那个需要照顾新生宝宝而忘了自我关怀的你、那个在跨文化环境中踉踉跄跄适应的你。。。 2）那个在亲密关系里反复挣扎的你：那个对各种保护作用：有的时刻批评着我们让我们做的更好；有的可能是最童真的那部分却因为过去的创伤而被封锁住了；还有的面对紧急状况想要尽快逃离；他们的需要也不尽相同，于是会经常出现部分与部分之间的吵架。在我们的咨询里，我也希望尽力去呈现并整合每个部分。特别敏感的你、那个即使内心万马奔腾也难以表达脆弱感的你、那个害怕重复过往关系而难以开始新关系的你、那个在关系中无法感受到安全的你。。。 3）那个时常被情绪淹没的你：焦虑、害怕、抑郁、愤怒、懊悔、羞耻。。

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.
