In this episode of The Art of Attachment, host Natalie Larson explores disorganized attachment, the most complex attachment style often rooted in trauma or inconsistent caregiving. Natalie explains how this attachment style impacts children, leading to behaviors like fear, hypervigilance, and a push-pull dynamic in relationships. Using the four Theraplay dimensions—Structure, Engagement, Nurture, and Challenge—she provides actionable strategies for therapists and caregivers to create safety, build trust, and support emotional regulation.

Learn how small, consistent acts of care and connection can help untangle disorganized attachment and foster healing. Connection matters, every single day. So stay connected!
