What is attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is rooted in attachment theory, which explains how our early bonds with caregivers influence our relationships and emotional patterns throughout life. This approach helps you understand your attachment style—whether secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—and work toward developing more secure patterns of relating to yourself and others.
How can attachment-based therapy help?
Many people find attachment-based therapy helpful for understanding relationship patterns, healing from early relational wounds, and building healthier connections. It can support you in recognizing why you react certain ways in relationships, developing a more secure sense of self, and creating more satisfying bonds with partners, family, and friends.
What happens in an attachment-based session?
In attachment-based sessions, your therapist will help you explore your early relationships and how they've shaped your current patterns. You might examine your attachment style, understand your emotional needs, and work on developing more secure ways of relating. The therapeutic relationship itself often becomes a model for secure attachment.
How do I find an attachment-based therapist?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who take an attachment-based approach. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.
Is attachment-based therapy right for me?
Attachment-based therapy may be a good fit if you notice recurring patterns in your relationships or want to understand how your early experiences influence your current connections. It's helpful for those seeking deeper self-understanding and more secure relationships. Consider booking a consultation to discuss whether this approach suits your needs.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Browse attachment-based therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose warmth resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
