Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early connection affects current connections and conflicts.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in everyday life.
