Attachment & Relational Trauma Therapy in Minneapolis
Supporting healing from attachment trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD through relational, holistic approaches to therapy
Understanding Attachment Trauma
Attachment trauma develops when early relationships lack consistent safety, care, or validation. These experiences can shape how we view ourselves, others, and the world. As adults, this may appear as emotional intensity, fear of rejection, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships.
You might notice:
-
Intense or rapidly changing emotions
-
Fear of abandonment or rejection
-
Difficulty trusting or depending on others
-
Cycles of closeness and withdrawal in relationships
-
Chronic feelings of emptiness or not being “enough”
These patterns are not character flaws. They are the nervous system’s way of protecting you after trauma. With trauma-informed therapy, you can rebuild safety, strengthen emotional regulation, and experience relationships that feel secure and mutual.
Common Symptoms of PTSD and Complex PTSD
Attachment trauma often overlaps with PTSD or Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), especially when trauma involved ongoing emotional neglect, relational instability, or identity-based harm.
You may experience:
-
Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares related to past experiences
-
Heightened anxiety or hypervigilance (feeling constantly on edge or unsafe)
-
Avoidance or emotional numbing to cope with pain or triggers
-
Difficulty regulating emotions or sudden mood shifts
-
Feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame
-
A sense of detachment, emptiness, or loss of identity
-
Trouble trusting others or maintaining stable relationships
-
Physical symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or body tension from stress
Healing from PTSD and Complex PTSD involves restoring a sense of safety in both body and relationships.
Through attachment-focused, holistic trauma therapy, our therapists help you process the past, calm the nervous system, and rebuild trust in yourself and others.
