What is Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy?

 

Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy is an integrative therapeutic approach that combines principles of attachment theory with body-centered practice.  It recognizes the deep connection between mind and body and emphasizes early attachment experiences.  These early attachment experiences with primary caregivers influence both emotional and physical well-being.  This therapy focuses on addressing unresolved attachment trauma or relational wounds that manifest not only in emotional and psychological patterns but also in the body.
