Attachment-based
psychotherapy has at its core an understanding of
the importance of relationships to human growth and development
throughout life. Secure and supportive relationships enable
us to develop a sense of who we are. When we feel alone, or
relationships go wrong in childhood or adulthood, our ability
to manage our lives may be disrupted or even thrown into crisis.
We
see psychotherapy as a cooperative venture between psychotherapist
and client. Secure boundaries and confidentiality provide
a safe setting that can enable clients to share experiences
and feelings that they may not have been able to talk about
before. Long term healing of distress, anxiety or depression
involves getting in touch with the underlying experiences
and emotions to promote creative change in your life.
The
growing attachment relationship with your psychotherapist
will give you the opportunity to mourn past losses and to
explore the impact of important relationships on your life
- both current and past. |
