1.) Customized Inner Compass Assessment

An Inner Compass Assessment is designed for individuals and couples grappling with the impact of attachment trauma.

This comprehensive tool goes beyond surface-level evaluations, delving into the core dynamics that often create distress in relationships.

Its primary aim is to illuminate the fine balance between intimacy and independence, recognizing that both are crucial for secure functioning.

For those who have experienced attachment wounds, this balance can be particularly elusive, leading to patterns of enmeshment or emotional distance.

The assessment meticulously evaluates an individual's and couple's ability to communicate their own emotions and needs, alongside their capacity to understand the emotions and needs of others.

This involves exploring both verbal and non-verbal communication patterns, identifying roadblocks such as fear of vulnerability, difficulty articulating internal states, or misinterpretations of a partner's signals.

A significant component of the Inner Compass Assessment is dedicated to understanding an individual's and couple's patterns of conflict.

Rather than simply observing disagreements, it seeks to uncover the underlying triggers, defensive mechanisms, and typical resolutions (or lack thereof).

This includes examining how past trauma might manifest in conflict situations, leading to escalation, withdrawal, or an inability to find constructive solutions.

Finally, the assessment emphasizes the ability for introspection.

It encourages individuals to look inward, recognize their own emotional responses, triggers, and unmet needs.

For couples, it facilitates a shared process of introspection, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.

By fostering this capacity, the Inner Compass Assessment empowers individuals and couples to navigate their relational landscape with greater awareness, leading to more secure and fulfilling connections.

The insights gained from this assessment serve as a foundational map, guiding the therapeutic process towards healing attachment wounds and cultivating healthier relationship dynamics.
