What are Attachment Wounds

Attachment wounds are emotional injuries that happen when our early relationships with caregivers felt unsafe, inconsistent, or emotionally distant.

​

These experiences can quietly shape how we see ourselves, how we trust others, and how we connect in relationships — even years later.

You may experience:

Fear of abandonment or rejection

Feeling "too much" or "not enough"

Difficulty letting others get close

Emotional shutdown during conflict

A deep sense of loneliness, even around people

With EMDR, you can:

Process core memories that taught you “I’m unlovable” or “People will leave” so they lose their emotional sting.

Create new inner resources: a felt sense of safety, confidence, and self-compassion that supports you now and in the future.

Change how you feel about the past, replacing shame, fear, or sadness with understanding, acceptance, and strength.

Build healthier relational patterns so closeness feels safe, not threatening.

The inner Child Connection

At the heart of many attachment wounds is your inner child, the younger part of you who longed for safety, love, and acceptance but didn’t always get it.

 

When that part of you carries unprocessed hurt, it can show up in the present as anxiety, mistrust, or emotional triggers.

​

EMDR therapy gives space to listen to, nurture, and protect this inner child, helping you meet their needs in ways that were once impossible.

Your Emotional Toolkit

During EMDR, we don’t just revisit the past; we also strengthen your capacity to feel grounded and supported in the present.

These inner resources act like emotional anchors, so even when old memories surface, you have the stability to meet them without being overwhelmed.

You don't have to keep reliving the past.

With the right support, you can change how those early experiences live inside you, and create space for the kind of connection you’ve always deserved.

What healing can look like:

Clients often describe EMDR as helping them:

Feel more at ease in their own kin

Trust themselves and others more deeply

Respond to triggers with calm instead of panic

Build relationships based on mutual respect and safety

Experience a newfound warmth and compassion toward their inner child

​Feel more present in the here and now, able to truly enjoy life’s moments

​Look at life with a clearer perspective, free from the old stories that once clouded their view
