Therapy Shorts 55: How to Heal Attachment Wounds: A Roadmap to Recovery

In this episode, I focus less on what went wrong in childhood and more on how we can actively heal attachment wounds in the present. I walk through a practical roadmap that includes curiosity, somatic work, emotional tolerance, self-compassion, reframing core beliefs, reparenting the inner child, parts work, and building secure relationships. Healing attachment patterns is not about perfection or finding someone to save you; it’s about gradually becoming someone who can tolerate real intimacy, conflict and vulnerability without collapsing or running.

Dr Nicholas Jenner

Dr. Nicholas Jenner, a therapist, coach, and speaker, has over 20 years of experience in the field of therapy and coaching. His specialty lies in treating codependency, a condition that is often characterized by a compulsive dependence on a partner, friend, or family member for emotional or psychological sustenance. Dr. Jenner's approach to treating codependency involves using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a treatment method that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. He identifies the underlying causes of codependent behavior by exploring his patients' internal "parts," or their different emotional states, to develop strategies to break free from it. Dr. Jenner has authored numerous works on the topic and offers online therapy services to assist individuals in developing healthy relationships and achieving emotional independence.
