Reply to "Finding therapy for alexithymia & attachment disorder"

Christine Cissy WhiteIt's not trauma-informed unless it's informed by trauma survivors.

Jeff:

You absolutely CAN improve your attachment to your own self. Seriously, for me that has been crucial and for me, Cheri Huber's books are a help (about ending self-hate, which is necessary before self-love can bloom). I too have often been puzzled and it's part of why I LOVE ACE's.

For some of A-C-E's were our ABC's and so we are trying to go to re-create and piece it all back together. Give yourself compassion and patience. It takes time. It's not always fast but healing IS possible and in my experience my life has improved enormously just by attaching to my own self and even knowing what the heck that means. Of course, that has helped me attach to others. It's not seamless but it improves ALL the time.

Best wishes.
