Therapy for a Disorganized Attachment

How Healing Can Transform Your Life

Living with a disorganized attachment style can feel confusing and overwhelming. At times you may crave closeness, and at other times you may fear it. This push-and-pull dynamic often creates difficulties in relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation. The good news is that with the right support, you can learn to heal, grow, and build a more secure sense of self.

At Bozeman Therapy & Counseling, our therapists specialize in attachment-based approaches that help individuals move toward healthier, more connected lives. Therapy can guide you to:

  • Learn to trust that someone can actually care about you.

  • Set and maintain healthy boundaries.

  • Understand that others’ boundaries are not rejection, shame, or punishment.

  • Regulate and calm your nervous system in times of stress.

  • Create more joy, stability, and structure in your daily life.

  • Manage feelings of shame and anger in healthier ways.

  • Grieve and process past wounds so they no longer control your present.

  • Work through blocks to emotional connection and closeness.

Disorganized attachment often stems from early trauma or inconsistent caregiving. But your attachment style doesn’t define your future. With the help of a supportive therapist, you can learn to understand your patterns, create new ways of relating, and build the foundation for secure and fulfilling relationships.

If you’re ready to start this journey, our team at Bozeman Therapy & Counseling is here to walk alongside you.
