Integrative Attachment Focused Couples Therapy

Are you and your partner caught in a constant tug of war between moments of connection and detachment? Are you struggling to communicate without someone feeling hurt, misunderstood, and unseen? Do you find yourselves stuck in a cycle of momentary affection, followed by inevitable rupture, rejection, and then despair? Do you spend time together in a cold truce, walking on eggshells? Perhaps your intimacy has waned, and everything seems routine or otherwise “stuck.” Maybe things feel “good enough” but feel as if they could fall apart if a set of unspoken rules are broken. Maybe you get the nagging sense that you’re falling into old, unproductive behavioral patterns in your relationship and its time to make change.

At Embodied Mind, we use an Integrative, Attachment Focused style of couples therapy to uncover the relational patterns and dynamics that keep you and your partner(s) stuck. Integrative, Attachment Focused couple’s therapy borrows primarily from IFS, attachment theory, sensorimotor therapy, and mindfulness. Using this method, we’ll be able to go “slow and low” and unpack the micro-moments and macro-conflicts that lead to chronic dissatisfaction within the relationship.
