It could all be so simple, just like the days when things were amazing in your relationship. You felt loved, valued, and like you were your partner's most prized priority. The sex was amazing and consistent, and you were always satisfied in the bedroom. You all laughed hysterically, like those deep belly laughs that had you almost crying. You did fun stuff together regularly and were each other's best friends. Do these seem like distant memories you are yearning to have again? Are you feeling alone, frustrated, invisible, overwhelmed, discarded, and/or defeated because you:

Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Feeling Shaky, Haven't been sleeping, avoiding people. Feelings like you had as a child - most of the time, these are signs of trauma. And for most men, trauma is something we believe everybody else can have, but not ourselves. My passion is to help men make peace with their past so they can live fully in their present and thrive in their future. I love the quote, "Trauma is in the eye of the beholder." Today might be your first day accepting that you have trauma. Will you let somebody else be there for you? If so, I'd love to be that person! And Let EMDR be the resource that can help you find your healing.

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.
