Attachment Repair and Processing Therapy (ARPT)™

​

A secure and authentic relationship with the self empowers and nurtures all interpersonal relationships and intimate partnerships through genuine connection. Therefore, securely attached individuals and couples thrive rather than being stuck in relational survival states and strategies, which often are passed down intergenerationally.

The seven clinical steps of ARPT™ support individuals and couples in becoming their own secure/primary attachment figures and turning their interpersonal and intimate relationships into safe havens for themselves and each other. Through ARPT’s seven steps, disintegrated relationships and rejected parts of the self, as well as the partner, are seen, heard, listened to and validated through the secure attachment figure who brings security, intimacy, positive communication, co-regulation, predictability, differentiation, clarity, boundaries and safety to the daily life of individuals and couples.
