Word Bank

Understanding yourself and your relationships often starts with having the right language.

This word bank is designed to help you make sense of the concepts that come up in relationship work, including attachment theory, protective patterns, and the ways your past experiences shape how you relate today.

At Deeper Level Healing, much of this work is grounded in the Relationship Theory Model (RTM), which focuses on identifying patterns, taking responsibility for your emotional experience, and approaching relationships with greater awareness and intention.

As you move through these terms, you may begin to recognize yourself in new ways. Not as something to fix, but as something to understand.
