Finding Erika Baum as my therapist was the greatest gift. I have learned so much from her and applied it into my everyday life. She is kind and understanding and so smart.

Understanding Attachment & Relational Trauma

Being let down or hurt by others can feel like a thousand tiny papercuts—small but deeply impactful.

Growing up in a home where love felt unpredictable, criticism was common, or your needs were overlooked can leave lasting attachment wounds. These painful experiences can make it hard to trust, set boundaries, or feel secure in relationships, keeping you emotionally stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

Healing from attachment injuries means processing these hidden pains, rebuilding trust (in yourself and others), and fostering stronger, more fulfilling connections.

Let’s talk about how EMDR, IFS parts work, and relational therapy can help you heal and create the relationships you deserve.

How I Help with Complex PTSD, Attachment Wounds, and Relational Trauma

Erika Baum, MA, LPCC

My approach is to use multiple evidence-based modalities and whole-person tools to help you get the most out of therapy, as efficiently as possible.

Between sessions, you’ll work through a workbook I created to help you explore your experiences and learn more about how healing works.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you get to know the different parts of yourself and what they’re trying to tell you.

EMDR is a great tool we use to ease the hold painful memories have on you, so they don’t keep popping up and causing distress in your everyday life.

If it feels like a good fit, we might try ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) to help open your mind to new insights and make it easier to shift old habits.

I also do inner child work to help you build stronger self-soothing skills and respond to tough situations with more kindness and wisdom.

All of this comes together to help you feel more peaceful, connected, and free in your life.

Why Do We Repeat Unhealthy Patterns?

If you’re struggling with the pain of relational hurt, you’re not alone.

I specialize in working with adult children of alcoholics, adults from difficult childhoods, and those carrying attachment wounds and relational trauma.

These experiences can deeply impact your life and relationships, often in ways you may not even realize.

Relational wounds often stem from early life experiences of hurt, instability, or unmet emotional needs, leaving lasting effects on how you see yourself and connect with others.

Sometimes, these wounds aren’t obvious. They can come from subtle, indirect messages—that you’re a burden, too much, or not good enough.

Over time, your brain adapts to protect you from further hurt by creating distance, staying on guard, or fearing rejection, making relationships feel harder than they should.

Make Every Therapy Session Count
A 20-Week Guided Workbook to Help You Heal Faster

If you’ve ever spent months—or years—in therapy talking about your week without ever really getting to the root of things, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. After two decades in therapy myself, I realized how easy it is to stay in surface-level conversation and avoid the deeper work that leads to lasting change.

This workbook was born out of that insight.

Whether you're just starting therapy or looking to get more out of the work you're already doing, this 20-week guided workbook will help you stay focused, organized, and intentional. It’s designed to support you and your therapist in staying on track, breaking patterns, and moving through stuck places with greater clarity and direction.

Inside you’ll find structured prompts, weekly check-ins, and exercises rooted in trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and parts work—tools to help you dig deeper, process more fully, and transform more quickly.

Therapy is an investment. This workbook helps you make it count.

How Therapy Can Help Break the Cycle

At Denver Attachment Therapy, I specialize in helping adult children of alcoholics and those from difficult childhoods heal the wounds that still impact their present.

Using EMDR, IFS Parts Work, and Attachment Theory, we go beyond surface-level talk therapy to address the deep emotional imprints from your past.

EMDR processes unresolved childhood trauma, releasing its hold on your present.

IFS Parts Work fosters self-compassion by healing the wounded inner parts still carrying past pain.

Attachment Theory helps you break unhealthy relationship patterns and build deeper, more secure connections.

Together, these approaches help you rewire emotional responses, release past pain, and create the fulfilling relationships you deserve.

Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP) Provider

Many clients come to me after years of talk therapy where they felt like they were just venting, circling the same stories, or being politely nodded at—without real change. I use structured, body-based approaches like EMDR, IFS, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) that don’t just help you talk about trauma—they help your nervous system finally digest it so you can live life with a freedom and groundedness you have likely never felt before.

I believe therapy should be more than a safe space—it should be a space for transformation. I work with tools that are grounded in neuroscience, trauma theory, and deep self-exploration, and I use a therapy workbook to help us stay focused on the deeper layers of your healing journey.

My clients leave therapy with more than insight—they leave with integrated healing, renewed self-trust, and the ability to respond rather than react to life.
