Motherhood is a profound journey, filled with both joy and challenges. As a mother, your own attachment styles and patterns shape the bond you form with your child. And that bond, in turn, shapes their world, laying the foundation for their emotional and psychological development. Understanding and fostering secure attachments is crucial in nurturing a confident, resilient, and emotionally healthy child.

And this starts with your healing.

Why is attachment important?

Secure attachment between a mother and her child is essential for the child's overall well-being. It influences their ability to:

  • Form healthy relationships

  • Cope with stress

  • Develop a positive self-image

When a child feels securely attached, they are more likely to explore the world with confidence, knowing they have a safe base to return to. Conversely, insecure attachments can lead to difficulties in emotional regulation, self-esteem issues, and challenges in forming relationships later in life.
