Building Secure Attachment

We are all wired for love and connection. When our dependency needs were not adequately met in our first years of life, we may end up with insecure attachment styles in our adult relationships. Insecure attachment patterns include anxious, avoidant, ambivalent, disorganized, or a combination. While most of our wounding occurs within the context of a relationship, our greatest healing also happens within relationships. Secure attachment involves a sense of safety and trust, as well as willingness to be vulnerable and understanding with both yourself and the other. We are capable of repairing our attachment wounds and building secure attachment styles.

Secure attachment can be cultivated through a healthy relationship with someone who is securely attached. It can also be developed through working with the right therapist in individual, couples, or group therapy. Personally, I am so grateful for my own therapy that has helped me to show up as my best self in my relationship with my husband.

It is the most human desire to want to be in relationship. Therapy is a relational process and can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others in your life. It can help prepare you for when you do meet that special person, or work through issues in your current partnership. Whether you are presently attached or flying solo, you can use the energy of Valentine's Day to court a sense of security within your heart and being.
