Attachment Disorder Therapy

Attachment Disorder Therapy

Our earliest relationships shape how we connect, trust, and love. When those early bonds are inconsistent, unsafe, or disrupted, it can leave a lasting impact on how we relate to others later in life. Attachment disorders often stem from unmet emotional needs in childhood — and they can show up in adulthood as anxiety in relationships, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others.

At Marina Edelman Therapy, I help individuals understand their attachment patterns, heal the wounds that drive them, and build secure, healthy connections with themselves and others.

Understanding Attachment Disorders

Attachment disorders often develop when a child’s emotional or physical needs weren’t consistently met. This can happen due to neglect, trauma, loss, or instability at home. Over time, those experiences shape how a person seeks or avoids closeness in adulthood.

You may benefit from attachment therapy if you notice:

  • Fear of rejection or abandonment

  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling emotionally safe

  • Avoidance of intimacy or vulnerability

  • Clinginess or emotional dependence

  • Intense emotional reactions in relationships

  • A pattern of choosing unavailable partners

  • Feeling “too much” or “not enough” in love

Attachment wounds don’t just affect romantic relationships. they can influence your friendships, family bonds, and even how you view yourself.

How I Help

My goal is to create a safe, consistent, and emotionally attuned space where healing can begin. In therapy, I help you:

  • Identify your attachment style and how it impacts your life

  • Recognize triggers and emotional patterns rooted in early experiences

  • Develop emotional regulation and secure relationship skills

  • Strengthen self-worth and self-compassion

  • Build trust and safety — both internally and interpersonally

I integrate attachment-based therapy, emotionally focused techniques, and inner child work to help you connect the dots between past and present. By understanding the origins of your attachment patterns, you can begin to respond to relationships with awareness instead of fear.

Healing Is Possible

No matter what your early experiences were, it’s never too late to experience secure attachment. Therapy can help you build the inner safety and confidence needed to form deeper, more stable connections.

If you’re ready to break free from old patterns and experience healthier love, I invite you to reach out.
