Attachment Issues Counseling

Often times, following adoption or other transition in custody, a child shows difficulty in forming an appropriate and trusting relationship with his primary caretaker(s). For the adult, it can be confusing to know how to show love to the child when she seems to avoid or resist healthy relationships. Adults in these situations can feel scared, frustrated, hopeless, and even guilty. The children may have emotional and behavioral issues such as lying passive aggressive behavior, stealing, and temper outbursts. Therapists at Agape are trained in helping children with attachment issues learn how to relate to others. They work closely with their caretakers to develop positive interventions to help heal the damage that disrupted attachment has created.
