In long term committed relationships we all long to feel seen and known. Couples in distress often say they are having a “communication” problem but it’s actually a “connection” problem. That’s because the normal rhythm in relationships from infancy on involves rupture & repair. Couples in distress typically struggle with too much rupture/disconnection and too little or no repair. The result is either chronic unproductive conflict or distance & isolation. It's from this place that people turn away from each other and engage in addictions & affairs, making it more challenging, but not impossible, to rediscover intimacy & connection.

Your sleep has become irregular. You are eating too many cookies or you don't feel like eating. It is hard to get up in the morning. The energy you once had has become a memory. Your friends seem to be doing much better than you are, so you can't confide in them about how you feel. You worry about your spouse, about your children, about the economy, or about your job. You wonder if you are drinking too many lattes or glasses of wine. It is hard to concentrate, to get just one thing done.And you don't know why you have these thoughts, these worries, these sleepless nights.

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.
