Let Me Introduce
We recognize the profound impact that attachment has on individuals, both in childhood and throughout adulthood. The roots of attachment theory can be traced back to the pioneering work of psychologists such as John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth in the mid-20th century, whose research illuminated the crucial role that early relationships play in shaping our emotional and psychological development. Over time, it became increasingly evident that attachment patterns established in childhood continue to influence individuals into adulthood, impacting relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
At Attachment Matters, we believe that awareness is the first step towards healing and growth. As a preventative measure, we’re passionate about educating young adults aged 18-25 about attachment theory and diverse attachment styles, empowering them to cultivate secure attachments and navigate relationships with confidence and resilience. Our range of services, including workshops and coaching, are tailored to support individuals in their journey towards secure attachment. Join us at Attachment Matters, where we’re dedicated to fostering healthy attachments and nurturing thriving individuals and communities.

A secure attachment style has numerous benefits, such as better relationships, improved mental and physical health, and enhanced stress management. It also influences parenting, potentially breaking the cycle of insecurity across generations. However, the number of people with secure attachments is decreasing, while insecure attachments are rising. It's crucial for everyone to act promptly. Educating young adults about attachment theory offers a chance to reverse this trend. By understanding how attachment styles affect relationships and parenting, they can consciously develop secure attachment patterns, contributing to a broader shift towards healthier dynamics.

Heather made me aware of Attachment Theory. This has allowed me to have a new perspective on how to deal with existing relationships. Additionally, I have a better understanding of how attachment styles impact my romantic relationships. Everyone should know about this! Maria Oetinger Cal High Senior

I didn’t have connections with my teachers. This affected my motivation to attend school and engage in learning. Had my teachers been aware of my attachment style, I believe this would have led to a different outcome. Mia Roman Del Amigo Senior
