The holidays often bring people and patterns back into the room. If you notice old attachment triggers showing up (like people-pleasing, withdrawing, or over-functioning), you’re not doing it wrong; your body is just remembering.

Here are 3 quick ways to stay grounded and connected:

1️⃣ Name what’s happening. “My anxiety means I’m craving reassurance, not that something’s wrong.”
2️⃣ Take small pauses. Step outside, breathe, or place a hand on your chest before responding.
3️⃣ Anchor to safe people or moments. Text a friend, look at a calming photo, or remind yourself: I’m safe now.

You can hold boundaries and stay connected. You can show up differently, even in the same room.

If this season feels activating, our therapists can help you create a plan to navigate it with more peace and self-trust.

If you notice the same relationship patterns repeating (pulling away, over-apologizing, shutting down) it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Attachment wounds teach us that closeness isn’t always safe. Healing begins when you slow down enough to ask:

▫️ What does my body do when I feel rejected or unseen?
▫️ What stories come up when someone shows care?
▫️ How can I respond instead of react?

You can’t think your way into secure attachment, you have to feel your way there.

Therapy helps you build that capacity: to stay connected, grounded, and open, even when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. 🌱 You can love without fear and be loved without losing yourself.

Gratitude looks different when you’re healing, as it’s less about the big shiny moments and more about the quiet shifts in your body, your relationships, and your truth.

Tell us… what are you grateful for right now? 🤍🦃

11/23/2025

November naturally brings us into conversations about gratitude, but it is also a powerful time to notice your attachment system. 🤍

Your body is always scanning for safety and connection. It knows who feels steady, who listens with care, who helps your breath settle instead of speed up.

Attachment is not about dependence but more so 
about recognizing the people who help regulate your nervous system, who show up consistently, and who make relationships feel more secure and less chaotic.

This month, take a moment to notice:

▫️Who helps you feel grounded?
▫️Who supports your growth?
▫️Who makes you feel safe in your own body?

Gratitude is not only about what you have. It is deeply about who helps you feel seen, steady, and supported.

If you want help understanding your attachment patterns or building healthier connections, our therapists are here for you.

Rooted now has openings in Draper, Lehi, and our upcoming Saratoga Springs location.
We would love to support you.

Believe it or not, daily gratitude practice creates measurable changes in the brain and nervous system.

Research shows that naming what you are grateful for increases activity in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for emotional regulation, decision making, and perspective.
It also reduces activation in the amygdala, which means less reactivity, less spiraling, and fewer “I’m in danger” responses when you are actually safe.

Gratitude also shifts your autonomic nervous system.
Your heart rate slows.
Your muscles release.
Your body moves out of fight-or-flight and into a regulated state where you can think clearly and respond with intention.

You do not need a long list.
You need consistency.
Ten seconds a day is enough to retrain your system.
Put a hand on your chest.
Take one slow inhale.

Name one thing your body or life is supported by today.Small practice. Real nervous system change.

What are you grateful for right now? 🦃🤍

Secure relationships aren’t about avoiding conflict, they’re about knowing you can come back together after it.A secure base gives us room to grow, explore, and repair. It sounds like:

▫️ “I know we can figure this out.”
▫️ “I trust you’ll still be here.”
▫️ “We can disagree and still feel close.”

In therapy, couples learn to build this safety through calm communication, co-regulation, and repair. Over time, those small moments of safety add up, creating connection that feels steady, not fragile.

If you’re ready to experience more security in your relationship, our team can help you begin that process.

Healing attachment isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about remembering who you were before you learned to protect yourself.

These mantras are reminders that safety, love, and connection can be rebuilt slowly, one moment at a time. Start with the one that feels most true for you today and let it settle in your body before you move on.
Healing doesn’t happen all at once, it happens through steady practice, gentle awareness, and safe people who meet you halfway.

🤍 You are allowed to feel secure, seen, and loved again.

Before we learn what love is, we learn what safety feels like. Attachment theory helps us understand how early relationships shape the way we connect, trust, and depend on others. When our emotional needs were met, we learned that relationships are safe. When they weren’t, our nervous systems adapted, creating patterns meant to protect us.

▫️ Secure: “I can rely on you and myself.”
▫️ Anxious: “I fear you’ll leave.”
▫️ Avoidant: “I’m safer alone.”
▫️ Disorganized: “I want closeness, but I don’t know how.”

These styles aren’t fixed. They’re stories your body learned to tell. With awareness, therapy, and safe connection, you can write a new one, one rooted in trust and security.

If you’re curious which patterns show up in your relationships, our therapists can help you explore them with care. Contact our team today:
