Attachment Disorders

Attachment disorders often begin in early childhood, when disruptions like inconsistent care or trauma make it tough to build trusting relationships. As an adult, you might notice this showing up as a fear of getting close to others, trouble expressing emotions, or swinging between pushing people away and clinging too tightly. These patterns can leave you feeling isolated or “unlovable,” but understanding them is the first step toward change.

Therapy can help you unravel these challenges and learn to build healthier connections again. Professional guidance can offer tools to steady your relationships and boost your self-esteem. At its core, addressing attachment disorders is about rediscovering trust so you can move forward with confidence and feel less alone.

Adjustment Disorders

Adjustment disorders can strike when life’s big changes—like starting a new job, going through a breakup, or relocating to a new city—feel too overwhelming to manage. You might find yourself trapped in a cycle of sadness, anxiety, or exhaustion, pulling away from friends and family, or finding it hard to concentrate at work or school. Physical signs, such as headaches, stomach issues, or restless nights, throw everything into disarray and making it seem like stability is out of reach—but recognizing these reactions is the crucial first step toward regaining control.

The good news is that support can turn things around, and most people recover with the right guidance. Therapy can help you navigate the emotional storm, providing practical strategies to cope and rebuild your sense of self-assurance.
