Attachment-Based Therapy

Don't Let Your Thoughts Control Your Life

Attachment-based therapy is about healing the emotional bonds that shape how we connect with others. These bonds often begin in childhood, especially with caregivers—and when those early connections are hurt, ignored, or unsafe, it can affect how we relate to people as adults.

WHAT WE OFFER FOR YOU

At Cornerstone Wellness Center, attachment-based therapy helps clients build stronger, healthier relationships—starting with the one they have with themselves.

Why Attachment-Based Therapy Is Used

Have you ever felt distant in relationships, afraid of getting close, or like you push people away before they hurt you?

Attachment-based therapy is designed to help people who:

Struggle with trust or closeness

Have trouble expressing emotions
Experience anxiety or fear in relationships

Feel insecure, “too needy,” or “too distant”
Have a history of trauma, neglect, or abandonment
Experience grief, loss, or disrupted family systems

The Goal of Attachment-Based Therapy

The main goal is to create safety—within the therapy relationship and within the client’s emotional world. The therapist becomes a secure, consistent presence, helping the client understand past experiences, rebuild trust, and form healthier emotional connections moving forward.

How Attachment-Based Therapy Can Help You Heal

Healing attachment wounds isn’t about blaming the past—it’s about understanding how those experiences shaped your present and learning to respond differently.

At Cornerstone Wellness Center, our therapists are trained to gently support you through this process. Whether you’re facing relationship struggles or seeking deeper emotional connection, this approach offers a path to lasting, meaningful change.

A Simple Story:
Meet Lena

Lena is 38 and always felt like something was missing. She had trouble trusting people—even her partner—and often felt like she didn’t “belong” anywhere. She’d grown up with a mother who was emotionally distant and a father who left when she was 7.

At Cornerstone Wellness Center, Lena began attachment-based therapy. At first, she wasn’t sure how to open up. But over time, her therapist helped her see that her fear of being “too much” came from early experiences—not because something was wrong with her.

By building a safe, honest relationship with her therapist, Lena started to feel more secure in her own skin—and in her relationships. She didn’t have to pretend or protect herself all the time. She began to believe that she was worth loving, just as she is.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does “attachment” mean in therapy?

Attachment refers to how we form emotional bonds with others—starting from childhood. In therapy, it means exploring those patterns to improve trust, closeness, and self-worth.

Who is this therapy best for?

Attachment-based therapy is great for people who struggle with relationships, trust, or emotional expression—especially if they’ve experienced trauma or neglect.

Is it okay if I don’t remember much about my childhood?

Yes. You don’t need detailed memories. Your therapist will help you gently explore patterns without forcing anything you’re not ready for.

Can this therapy help with parenting issues?

Absolutely. Many parents who didn’t have secure attachments growing up want to create stronger bonds with their children. This approach helps break the cycle.
