Emotional health

When we are born the separation between a mother and child is considered a traumatic loss. Below you will find some links to topics such as attachment theory, how to identify your primary attachment style and how it can impact your personal relationships at work, with family, or your significant person.

There are also links to how to find a therapist. Keep in mind that therapy is a gift to yourself and a way to help us understand ourselves and begin to heal the unseen wounds that can result from adoption and how they could manifest in our adult lives if not addressed.

*When looking for a therapist, it's important to think about what feels most comfortable to you taking into consideration the gender, age, race, etc. and it's ok to "shop around" or discontinue with one if they don't feel right to you. It can take time to find a good match.
