Attachment-based psychotherapy/ Article Draft
Lead:

Attachment-based psychotherapy is the framework of treating individuals with depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma.

Body:

Child attachment trauma leads into attachment issues as an adult. Individuals with attachment problems may show signs of distress during difficult situations, have trouble caring for others and letting themselves be cared for, are easily angered, and have difficulty focusing.

When an individual does not have security in their relationships, they rely on themselves and their emotions, resulting in unhealthy behavior and cognitive functioning.

Treatment:

The primary treatment for a child with attachment-based trauma is having a reliable caregiver. The next most important treatment is having a psychotherapist.

Trust must be established between client and therapist before introducing therapy techniques to help remedy the attachment-based trauma.

There are a variety of therapies provided depending on the therapist and the client. Some of which include cognitive therapy, experiential therapy, and behavior therapy.

During therapy, brains can actually rewire themselves developing new, healthy connections. Creating a healthy relationship with that important caregiver can heal the attachment-based trauma from previous experiences.
