In this Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) session, Eboni Webb discusses the development of earned secure attachment in adults, building on Dr. Daniel Siegel's foundational work on attachment theory. She emphasizes that developing secure attachment involves creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their attachment history and transition from trauma to emotional resilience. Webb highlights the importance of building a "safe and secure base" within therapy, allowing clients to experience proximity maintenance and emotional safety.
She explains that attachment trauma therapy often incorporates reparenting techniques, which help clients redefine their self-regulation and emotional responses. These practices are crucial for shifting attachment styles in adulthood and fostering self-understanding. Webb discusses the use of transitional objects and other supportive tools to enhance client self-regulation and build emotional connection, which are central to developing earned secure attachment.
Through attachment-focused interventions, therapists can help clients address emotional vulnerability and improve their coping mechanisms. This approach aims to broaden clients’ emotional capacity and facilitate secure attachment through structured and supportive therapy sessions. Webb's insights provide practical strategies for integrating attachment theory into therapy to aid clients in achieving long-term emotional growth and resilience.
