Trauma, Attachment & Nervous System Patterns

Many attraction patterns are shaped by early attachment experiences and nervous system conditioning.

When trauma or chronic dysregulation is present, desire may attach to intensity rather than connection. Emotional numbness, hyperactivation, avoidance, or repeated unstable relationships can reflect unresolved attachment trauma.

I have advanced training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level II), a body-based, trauma-informed modality that addresses the physiological foundations of emotional and relational patterns.

In trauma-informed work, we focus on:

• Nervous system regulation
• Attachment history
• Emotional tolerance
• Relational stability
• Integration of past experiences

This work often complements attraction-focused therapy, as unresolved trauma can influence how desire and compatibility are experienced.
