NOTE

Empowerment and Secure Attachments in Therapy

Therapy aims to empower individuals by allowing them to express agency in small ways, such as saying no or expressing preferences, which contrasts with disempowerment often experienced in restrictive settings. Healthy regulation stems from secure attachments formed in early years, predominantly with caregivers. Individuals with difficulties in self-regulation often lack these attachments. Therapists offer the opportunity for clients to form a secure attachment with them, providing a comparative experience to rebuild missing elements in the client's foundation. Therapists play a crucial role in identifying and addressing these missing elements to empower clients and promote healthy self-regulation.
