Attachment theory, initially developed by John Bowlby and further expanded by Mary Ainsworth, provides a crucial framework for understanding how early relational experiences shape our ability to form and maintain healthy relationships throughout life. Attachment wounds, often rooted in early childhood experiences, can lead to maladaptive relationship patterns that persist into adulthood, affecting our emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships. Therapy offers a path to healing these wounds, allowing individuals to repair and transform their relationship patterns.
