It can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictive patterns and the stress that comes with life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and relational expectations. This approach can support work on attachment issues, abandonment, foster and adoptive family dynamics, and relationship difficulties.
