Treatment For Attachment Problems

[Catlovers141]

Are there any types of treatment for attachment problems in adults? I've been having difficulty with this and my therapist has said that working in a healthy therapeutic relationship helps it naturally, but I've been seeing her for years and although other problems have improved, this has stayed very much the same. Anyone know of or have experience with anything that could be helpful?

Here's an article on attachment issues in case people aren't sure what I mean: Therapy for Attachment, Therapist for Attachment

I'm not entirely certain, but it hasn't been something I've overly researched or looked into either. I've been in therapy for about 18 months, and while I don't think my attachment patterns have changed any, I have begun to identify them more fully and the problems they create. I'm also becoming acutely aware of how they play out in therapy sessions.

Yes, there are therapists who specialize in it. I don't have experience but was recently helping a friend search.
