Attachment Issues Therapy in Lanham, MD

Attachment Issues

Attachment issues can significantly impact relationships, emotional well-being, and daily functioning throughout life. These challenges often stem from early childhood experiences and can affect how individuals form and maintain relationships. Access Health Services provides specialized support to help people understand and overcome attachment-related difficulties, building stronger, more secure connections with others.

What are Attachment Issues?

Attachment issues develop when early bonds with caregivers are disrupted or inconsistent, leading to difficulties in forming secure relationships. Common manifestations include:

Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
Fear of abandonment or rejection
Overwhelming anxiety about relationships
Emotional dependence or avoidance
Struggles with intimacy and vulnerability
Unpredictable or volatile relationships
Problems with emotional regulation
Difficulty setting or respecting boundaries
Low self-worth and identity issues

When left unaddressed, attachment issues can lead to persistent relationship problems, anxiety, depression, and difficulties in both personal and professional life.
