If you've ever felt like you're too much in relationships—too needy, too sensitive, too scared of being abandoned—you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever felt like you can’t rely on anyone, like you have to do everything yourself because letting people in feels risky… you’re not alone there either.

This is attachment trauma. It runs deep, shaping how we love, how we trust, and how safe we feel in connection. It’s not just a set of behaviors—it’s a nervous system response, a survival strategy learned long before you even had words to explain it.

And for so many people, it creates a belief that healing will take forever. That because these wounds were formed in childhood, it’ll take years (or even a lifetime) to untangle them. But I want you to hear this: healing doesn’t have to take years.

Attachment Trauma Is Stored in the Body, Not Just the Mind

If you’ve tried talk therapy before and felt like you were “figuring it all out” but nothing actually changed in your relationships, it’s because attachment trauma isn’t just a mindset issue. It’s a nervous system issue.

You might intellectually know you should feel secure, that your partner isn’t abandoning you, that you deserve love—yet your body still panics when someone pulls away. Or you go numb and withdraw when a conversation feels too emotionally intense.

This is because attachment trauma isn’t stored in words—it’s stored in your body, your breath, your automatic reactions. And that’s why healing needs more than just insight. It needs experiential work, deep emotional processing, and nervous system regulation.

Why Short-Term Therapy Can Create Fast, Lasting Change

I know what you might be thinking: Is it really possible to shift something so deep in a short period of time?

Yes. But only when therapy is done in a way that actually reaches the root of the issue. Traditional weekly therapy, while helpful for many, often means spending the first 20 minutes catching up, the next 20 digging into something painful, and then the last 10 trying to put yourself back together before walking out the door. It’s fragmented, and sometimes it feels like you’re barely scratching the surface.

Short-term therapy works differently. Imagine stepping into a space where you don’t have to rush through your emotions. Where you have have an exact plan that a therapist guides you through to process, to feel, to actually move through the stuck places that have been keeping you in the same cycles.

When therapy is immersive, you can:

Identify your attachment patterns and where they come from (not just intellectually, but emotionally—actually feeling the core wound that’s been driving your reactions).
Release old survival strategies like people-pleasing, shutting down, or hyper-independence that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.
Rewire your nervous system so that love and connection stop feeling like a threat.
Experience a corrective emotional experience where, maybe for the first time, you actually feel seen, held, and safe in connection.

This isn’t about surface-level coping strategies. It’s about shifting your internal blueprint of love, safety, and connection so that your relationships stop feeling like a battlefield of fear and unmet needs.

What Healing Actually Feels Like

So what happens when attachment trauma begins to heal?

You stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
You stop anxiously overanalyzing every text, every slight change in tone.
You stop feeling like you have to prove your worth to be loved.

Instead…
You trust—yourself, your partner, your ability to handle whatever comes.
You relax into love instead of gripping it so tightly, afraid it’ll disappear.
You communicate what you need without fear of being rejected or abandoned.

This is what’s possible. And it doesn’t require years of therapy—it requires the right kind of therapy.

You’re Not “Too Much.” You’re Not Broken. And You’re Not Alone.

If attachment trauma has been running the show in your relationships, I want you to know this: It’s not your fault. The way you learned to attach was a survival response. And just like you learned it, you can unlearn it.

You deserve love that feels safe.
You deserve connection that doesn’t hurt.
You deserve to heal, fully and completely.

And it might happen faster than you think.

Healing Attachment Trauma: A Structured, Transformational Therapy Approach

If you’re stuck in painful relationship patterns—overthinking every text, feeling like you’re too much or not enough, or shutting down when emotions get intense—you don’t have to stay stuck. Healing is possible. And it doesn’t have to take years.

I offer a structured therapy process (18 sessions max) that combines the most effective, research-backed approaches for deep transformation. This isn’t just talk therapy—it’s experiential, body-based, and relational work that helps you rewire attachment patterns at the root.

How We Work Together:

🔹 Relational Life Therapy (RLT) – A powerful, direct approach that helps you break unhealthy relationship cycles, communicate effectively, and build deep, meaningful connection.

🔹 Somatic Strategies – Because attachment trauma isn’t just in your thoughts—it’s in your nervous system. We work with body awareness, movement, and nervous system regulation to shift patterns where they actually live.

🔹 Somatic Breathwork – A deep, embodied practice to release stored emotional wounds, regulate your system, and create a sense of safety in connection.

What This Work Will Help You Do:

✔️ Heal attachment wounds (anxious, avoidant, or disorganized patterns)
✔️ Stop repeating painful cycles in relationships
✔️ Feel emotionally secure and connected without fear of abandonment or rejection
✔️ Rewire your nervous system so love stops feeling like a threat
✔️ Communicate and connect in a way that actually works

This is not endless therapy that drags on with no clear direction. It’s focused, structured, and deeply transformational.
