Depending on the context or who you ask “attachment” can have a variety of meanings. So what does it mean to be an attachment-based therapist or to engage in attachment-based therapy?
Attachment is one of the most basic, yet complex, social and neurobiological processes that make us human. It’s hard-wired into us from the womb to death, with it’s foundations in our formative first 5 years. Our attachment style impacts how we interact with others and the world, and where/with whom we do or do not feel secure.
