ACE Foundation Programs
Attachment research shows that failing to address childhood wounds can result in the repetition of those attachment patterns into adulthood. Anxious, avoidant, and fearful attachment styles are correlated with mental health problems, addiction, and chronic relational problems. Helping clients understand these historical patterns and creating a secure attachment in the therapeutic relationship are key to healing and forming healthy connections with others.
