Many people feel hurt from long ago. These wounds are referred to as attachment wounds. They begin when a child fails to receive the desired care.
A child may become lonely, frightened, or depressed. These sentiments may be transferred to adulthood.
The positive side of it is that it is possible to heal at a later stage of life. Therapy With Rose helps people heal. I offer a compassionate space to begin this healing journey.
What Are Attachment Wounds?
Attachment wounds occur in childhood and are caused by the lack of constant care and emotional support for the child. This experience teaches the child to protect themselves in various forms, and this may carry on into their adult lives.
Some common patterns include:
- Hiding your feelings to avoid rejection
- Clinging closely to others out of fear of being abandoned
- Pushing people away to feel safe
- Feeling lost or unsure how to connect
As adults, these patterns may look like:
- Difficulty trusting others
- Worrying about being left behind
- Feeling overwhelmed by emotions
These responses are not signs of weakness. They are signs of old wounds trying to protect you.
In my work at Therapy With Rose, I assist clients in realizing these patterns and acquiring new skills for relating to themselves and others.
Can Attachment Wounds Be Healed Later in Life?
Yes. Attachment wounds can be healed. Our hearts and minds can change, even as adults. Healing does not remove the past; it just makes you feel safe, loved, and confident today.
You can learn unique styles to communicate with yourself and with others. With help, people can feel safe and strong.
Therapy With Rose gives gentle care. Therapy With Rose is a safe place. In therapy, you meet someone who listens. You learn to trust again. You learn new ways to be with people.
How Therapy Helps with Attachment Wounds
At Therapy With Rose, I provide a caring and nonjudgmental environment in which adults can find out the origin of their relationship predicaments.
Lots of individuals visit therapy as they are lost or scared in their relationships. They desire to know the reason why they respond in a certain manner.
Using a blend of psychodynamic and mindfulness-based work, therapy helps you:
- Notice old patterns
- Understand why you feel certain ways
- Slow down racing thoughts
- Explore your emotions
- Build strong coping skills
- Create healthier relationships
I work with those who overthink or are deeply emotional. Therapy helps them feel more grounded and safer.
What Healing Looks Like
Healing does not mean you never feel scared again. It means you understand yourself better, trust yourself more, and know how to care for your feelings.
You learn new ways to respond to stress. You grow stronger, softer, and more grounded.
Healing looks like:
- Feeling calmer inside
- Trusting your choices
- Speaking your needs
- Feeling safe with people who care
- Believing you are worthy of love
You can heal at your own pace. There is no “too late.” There is only the next step.
Therapy With Rose offers a gentle and patient space to take these steps.
Rebuilding Trust in Yourself
Attachment wounds can make people doubt themselves. They may worry that their feelings are wrong or too big. They may stay quiet to keep others happy.
At Therapy With Rose, I help rebuild trust in yourself.
You learn to:
- Listen to your own needs
- Set healthy boundaries
- Speak up for yourself
- Make choices with confidence
This is very important for people with relationship issues. When you understand your own patterns, you can make better choices and build stronger, kinder connections.
