Family of Origin and Attachment

Reconnect to others. Reconnect to yourself.

Relationships are one of the best & hardest parts of life.

Children who are shown love, acceptance, and safety, are more likely to develop a strong sense of self, strong attachments and bonds, healthy ways of experiencing and processing emotions, and getting their needs met in a positive manner. But if love, acceptance, and safety are in short supply, a child must adapt to their dysfunctional environment and may develop maladaptive coping mechanisms that follow them into adulthood .

Most families will have some negative aspects as well as positive ones, and any and all family dynamics will have some impact on a person's adult life.

You’re ready to feel better and leave these behind:

Low Self Esteem
Boundary issues
Enmeshment
Dishonesty
Codependence
Anxious Attachment
Depression
Anxiety
