You have questions and I have the map & answers for your journey. Explore the FAQ to learn more about my services & how we build your secure harbor together.
What is Integrative Attachment Theory?
IAT (Integrative Attachment Theory) is the North Star for our journey. It is contemporary and holistic framework developed by practioners - I utilize the works of Thais Gibson - who expanded upon the foundational research of Bowlby and Ainsworth by combining it with insights from modern psychology with a strong focus on the subconscious mind & neuroplasticity. This structured approach helps to identify core wounds, personal & relational needs, emotional regulation & boundaries / communication in order to build a strong foundation of self-esteem, self-trust & self-compassion with a goal of helping individuals and couples transition from an insecure attachment style to a secure attachment style by fostering self awareness.
What is the Difference Between Therapy & Coaching?
While both professions are supportive, they differ significantly in scope & focus.
Therapy (The Past & Diagnosis):
MH therapy focuses on healing the past, addressing trauma, diagnosing & treating mental health disorders. The focus is often on deep, historical wounds & achieving emotional stability. It repairs the hull of the ship.
Coaching: (The Present & Action): Relationship coaching focuses on present day relationship patterns & future goals.I help you identify your attachment style, teach you concrete skills & create an actionable plan for implementing new behaviors to improve your relationship to self & others. Coaching is the compass to identify your North Star, master the currents & confidently navigate towards the horizon of your choosing.
Disclaimer: Coaching is not a replacement for mental health therapy. Please seek the services of a licensed mental health professional for the treatment & diagnosis of MH disorders.
Why Should I Know My Attachment Style?
Understanding your attachment style is the most powerful tool you can have because it provides a map to your relational triggers & allows you to predict your own subconscious responses! It normalizes your experiences. For example, a need to withdraw from certain situations is not a flaw, but a survival skill learned long ago. It can also help to identify certain cycles or patterns that different attachment styles find themselves in such as the anxious / avoidant trap. It also provides a secure roadmap through the practice of deliberately practicing the thoughts & actions of a secure person through a variety of modalities.
