WHY DOES ATTACHMENT MATTER?

Somatic Attachment therapy involves the way in which a person forms intimate bonds with themselves (embodiment), with other people, and the environment. These bonds form the supportive foundation to be adaptive, learn and grow from new experiences, and flourish in one's goals and relationships. When there has been a consistent presence and the felt sense of connection and safety this forms a secure relational attachment. A secure attachment provides an intrinsic feeling of safety, acceptance, and belonging; it becomes the bedrock, or foundational experience, from which a person can more easily grow and thrive.

However, when there has been an absence or interruption of that bond, an insecure attachment forms. This attachment trauma is wired into the nervous system in the form of our responses and reactivity to our environment and particularly our relationships within it . And we carry this pain throughout life. The adaptive strategies we form in response shapes our capacity to regulate our nervous system and emotional states. It also informs the way we interpret incoming information, and how we come to understand ourselves, the world around us, and the relationships we have.

In other words, our early attachment experience is acting itself out in our daily life, replaying in our relationships, our jobs, how we respond to stress, and even the way we treat ourselves and other people.

Relationships can inspire our deepest sense of connection, joy and belonging--both to ourselves and others. They can also provoke our deepest insecurities, pains, and disconnection. Bringing an embodied understanding and awareness to attachment trauma transforms these early wounds, creating an empathic relationship with ourselves and others. This acquired secure attachment empowers us to live a life where our early attachment trauma doesn't define who we are or control our future relationships. Somatic attachment therapy is not just about healing what went wrong, it's also about nurturing the skills to deepen what is going right.

WHAT IS ATTACHMENT TRAUMA?

A holistic approach to trauma defines attachment injury/wounding not as an event or a challenged relationship, but rather as a disruption and overwhelm to our body-mind’s capacity to feel safe, secure, cared for, and consistently connected with.

Attachment trauma may be less visible than other traumatic experiences. Our adaptive strategies for managing the trauma are deeply embedded in our adult lives, manifesting as patterns in our physiology, thoughts, behavior, and interactions with other people and our environment. Attachment trauma might emerge in early childhood, adolescence or in our adult life as symptoms of anxiety, depression numbness, disconnection, defensiveness, or a sense that parts of your Self are numb, hidden, fractured, or inaccessible.

Attachment Trauma (wounding) can occur:

  • In the womb in response to the parents' physiology, specifically their capacity to regulate/ adapt to stressors in their life.
  • During crucial stages of a child's development where there is an absence or inconsistent experience of being attended to, attuned to, co-regulated with, or the child’s needs not being responded to.
  • Transgenerationally passed down.
  • From the loss of a loved one.
  • When our primal protective instincts, intuitions, and responses are thwarted.
  • When relational bonds have been ruptured and there is not enough time, space, or capacity to heal/ repair the rupture.
  • When there is too much stimulus too soon- in the hospital, home, environment, or socal-cultural setting.
  • Other traumas that break the vital connection.

The effects of Attachment Trauma may include:

  • Physical symptoms such as tightness in the body, muscle tension, constrictions around the breath.
  • Emotional symptoms such as flatness / inability to feel, impulsivity, fear, anxiety, panic, depression, overwhelm, loss of choice, difficulty feeling comforted, anger, and shame. Challenge identifying or expressing feelings and needs.
  • Psychological symptoms such as dissociation, mental rumination, low self worth, rigid or loose boundaries, negative self talk, self blame, depression, challenges in actioning goals, and loss of joy.
  • Relational / social symptoms such as isolation, loneliness, avoidance, lack of fulfillment, unintentional attraction to red flags, challenges with communication, trust and intimacy.

Attachment Trauma can lead to feelings of powerlessness, helplessness, and groundlessness. The wounds from our past are embedded in our present. It interferes with our ability to feel secure in body and mind, it disrupts our very sense of existence, and takes us away from the present moment, and challenges our ability to form and maintain our ideal relationships.

However, as Dr. Scott Lyons, founder of The Embody Lab says “Our basic blueprint as humans is connection and bonding- sometimes we just need the right support at the right time to find our way back home.

Symptoms are the gateway to healing attachment trauma. Our job as practitioners and educators is to listen and follow the wisdom for healing encoded in the body.

 
 

“Being the ‘best you can be’ is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.”


- DR. SUE JOHNSON
Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships

 
 

“A definition of trauma should include ‘broken connection.’ Accordingly, our healing comes in the form of reconnection— to our own body, mind, and spirit, but also to other people.”


- DIANE POOLE HELLER
The Power of Attachment: How to Create Deep and Lasting Intimate Relationships

 
 

“As Aristotle said ‘What a society honors will be cultivated.’ It is time for us to understand, honor, and cultivate the deepest relational elements in our nature.”

- DR. SUE JOHNSON

 
 

“If you are far away from yourself, how could you ever be close to another?”

- YUNG PUEBLO

 
 

“Loving connection involves both the ability to give and to receive love. When we are wounded in relationship, both can suffer. We need to learn or relearn both the ability to give love and to receive love. Only then can we feel whole in our connection to self and other.”

- MAUREEN GALLAGHER, PHD

 
 

“Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love.”


-  BRUCE D. PERRY

 

WHAT IS A SOMATIC APPROACH
TO HEALING ATTACHMENT WOUNDS?

‘Soma’ is a Greek word for ‘the living body known from within’, or known to the Self. This ‘knowing’ signifies wholeness. Somatic therapy is an experiential approach towards mindbody integration. The pain, overwhelm, and coping responses manifested by attachment trauma take us away from feeling at home in our body, at home with other people, or at home within the world. Somatic therapy brings us back.

The manifestations of attachment trauma are primarily subconscious, so using words (i.e talk therapy) or psycho-education alone is an incomplete approach for transformation. Profound healing and repatterning comes from making changes at the body (cellular) level. A somatic therapy approach acknowledges the narrative of our attachment journey and guides a client into the wisdom of their 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

“I came to the Somatic Attachment Therapy Certification Program with a long background in somatics and Inner Relationship Focusing, and an introductory background in attachment theory. I came with hope that the SAT program would be a place for necessary next step integration in all these areas. I came away with that, and much more: I have a secure place to stay and come back to, with myself and with many in the SAT cohort. I have found a stable way to pause in my body and with each part of me, to care for and sort out what is happening for me in each new situation in life.”

  • "I signed up for this program for both personal and professional reasons. I knew that working on attachment was the next big phase in my healing, and in my work as a coach. The depth of this program was unbelievable. I learned SO MUCH but also integrated so much! I found myself starting to set boundaries and asking for what I want. Cultivating relationships that were what I was actually looking for, and of course my coaching clients faced very similar challenges and beautiful victories along with me! Wow, I ADORE The Embody Lab and this program is just stellar and highly recommended!"

    —MARIANA, SAN DIEGO

  • "It is an impressive experience for me to receive this course. The integration of attachment and somatic experiencing inspired me to alert client’s responses which related to their attachment issues.

  • "I’m an alumini of SAT 2022. I had a wonderful learning, human and healing experience, and wish to be part this year too, as I want my learnings to be fully integrated. Also I love Kai, her engagement, her values and her unique transmission, that got me 100% eager to learn more. She has been for me one of the the revelations of the SAT training."
