Attachment issues generally refer to difficulties establishing or maintaining healthy, stable, and close relationships with others. They can affect people of all ages who have not had the opportunity to develop a secure attachment style during childhood. Two types of attachment disorders can be diagnosed in children: Reactive Attachment Disorder, characterized by emotionally withdrawn behavior, and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder, characterized by over-familiar social behavior.
While there are no formal diagnoses for attachment issues in adults, the effects of the attachment style formed in childhood can be seen in adulthood. For example, adults may continue to have difficulty with close relationships or experience codependency. They may also struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges. It’s equally important for children and adults to receive help from a trained mental health professional if facing attachment-related challenges.
Group practices can help you develop a more secure attachment style and address any related mental health issues. Treatment approaches differ by provider, but they often involve helping you understand how past experiences may have contributed to, or caused, the attachment issues you face today. Some group practices might focus on helping you develop more compassionate self-talk, self-care, and self-soothing skills, while others may assist you in looking for unhelpful patterns in order to help you develop healthier relationship dynamics going forward. Children with attachment issues may benefit from working with a group practice who specializes in working with children, who can help them make sense of their feelings and provide them with coping strategies.
