How it Works
Through the integration of the Adult Attachment Repair Model, mind-set shifting work, and mindfulness, I'll help you move away from old patterns of anxiousness and avoidance to peace of mind and inner security in your relationships and work. The Adult Attachment Repair Model was developed by Peter Cummings and is a body-centered somatic therapy modality that utilizes the mind-body connection to support the repair of developmental attachment ruptures. It aims to address and release the stored effects of trauma and stress held in the body. Here are some of the ways it may contribute to healing:
- Body Awareness: Much of the attachment trauma and response is stored in the body and the interconnectedness of physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts. By using a body-centered approach well-being can be encoded into the body and nervous system, which promotes the expression secure attachment.
- Release of Tension and Trauma: Traumatic experiences can be stored in the body as muscle tension, chronic pain, or other physical symptoms. This body-centered approach releases these stored tensions.
- Regulation of the Nervous System: Polyvagal Theory, explains the role of the autonomic nervous system in responding to stress. Techniques are designed to regulate the nervous system, promoting a sense of safety, calm and well-being - aspects of secure attachment.
- Integration of Traumatic Memories: Helps process and integrate traumatic memories at a bodily level, promoting well-being.
- Enhanced Emotional Regulation through Emotional Expression: Offers a place for expressing and regulating emotions.
- Improved Self-Connection & Self-Awareness: Allows individuals to develop a deeper connection with themselves, fostering self-awareness and self-compassion.
What is Attachment Theory?
Attachment theory, developed by psychologist John Bowlby, focuses on the bonds formed between individuals, especially between children and their caregivers. It suggests that early relationships significantly impact emotional and social development. As a result of developmental attachment ruptures, many adults end up with insecure attachment.
These attachment styles are not rigid categories. Individuals may exhibit a combination of anxious and avoidant traits or shift between them based on their experiences and the dynamics of specific relationships. Understanding attachment styles can contribute to healthier relationships by promoting self-awareness and empathy for both partners' needs and insecurities.
Basic Attachment Styles:
Secure Attachment: Individuals with a secure attachment style tend to feel confident in their relationships. This style is often developed when caregivers consistently and responsively meet the child's emotional needs. As a result, those with secure attachment are comfortable with both intimacy and independence. They trust their partners, can express their emotions openly, and believe that they are worthy of love and support.
Insecure Attachment Styles:
Avoidant Attachment: On the other hand, individuals with an avoidant attachment style tend to be uncomfortable with emotional closeness and may value independence. This attachment style can develop when caregivers are emotionally unavailable or intrusive, leading the child to develop a coping mechanism of self-reliance. As adults, those with an avoidant attachment style may find it challenging to fully trust others or open up emotionally in relationships.
Anxious Attachment: Individuals with an anxious attachment style often worry about the availability and responsiveness of their partners. They may fear abandonment and seek constant reassurance. This attachment style typically stems from inconsistent caregiving during childhood, where the caregiver might have been unpredictable in meeting the child's emotional needs. As adults, those with an anxious attachment style may be overly dependent on their partners and struggle with self-esteem.
