What is Somatic Attachment Therapy?

Description

Somatic Attachment Therapy is a holistic, body-centered approach to attachment based therapy, including a deeper understanding of the body’s relationship with developmental and relational wounding and healing.

What can I expect in a session?

You will learn techniques for establishing secure attachment within yourself by becoming more available to all parts of yourself and enhancing your capacity to connect with body sensations and emotions.

How can it help me?

Somatic Attachment Therapy guides you into the wisdom of your body to restore the innate capacity to bond, form healthy and adaptive boundaries, and flourish in all aspects of relationships.
Somatic Attachment Therapy helps:

  • Restore the body as a place of safety and as a conduit for love

  • Feel an embodied core sense of self

  • Compassionately renew a felt sense of connection and security

  • Release stored tensions in the body that contribute  to defensiveness, avoidance, or anxiety

  • Expand the capacity to process body (preverbal and nonverbal) memory

  • Metabolize unprocessed emotions

  • Create deep and sustaining intimate relationships

  • Break the cycle of reenacting protective attachments patterns in relationships

  • Create the internal and external conditions for attachment repatterning versus merely working with symptom reduction.

  • Restore your optimal relationship to yourself and the world around you

  • Enhances the capacity for joy, trust, managing disappointments and rejections

Who is it for?

Anyone who has experienced attachment wounding, which we define as a disruption to our ability to feel safe, secure, cared for, and connected. Attachment trauma may appear as symptoms of anxiety, depression, numbness, disconnection, defensiveness, or a sense that parts of yourself are numb, hidden, fractured, or inaccessible.
