Bust Attachment Myths
Your attachment style is not permanent - you can change it!
We take advantage of neuroplasticity and rewire the subconscious mind to create more supportive beliefs and shed old fears.
🎯
Client-Centered
Your choices direct the entire process of our work together.
You are in full control of your healing process, and will never be pushed based on my beliefs or opinions.
My goal is to become obsolete and teach you how to heal yourself.

Present-Oriented
No endlessly rehashing past experiences here.
Instead, we focus on today and identify patterns and provide skills and tools that make an immediate difference.

Hi, I'm Mico Nunes
Certified Integrated Attachment Practitioner and Founder of The Growth Approach
I help you recondition your subconscious beliefs to resolve relationship challenges at their root and create the life you want to live.
I work with individuals and couples who had to grow up fast and want more love, harmony and understanding in their relationships. I teach intentional, results-oriented tools from Integrated Attachment Theory, which are based in attachment and influenced by cbt, hypnotherapy, nlp, dbt, and others.
My passion is helping people take advantage of knowledge and resources that weren't available to my family growing up, and to help them build loving relationships with themselves and others.
I help you feel closer to your loved ones, have more confidence to resolve conflict, navigate difficult emotions, understand your relationship dynamics, and finally end painful patterns that hold you back from the life you want!
Attachment Theory is the best predictor of successful relationships - but over 70% of people are insecurely attached. We end up in relationships with a different set of mental blueprints for love than our partner, and it can feel exhausting trying to get on the same page.
Our attachment style develops from age 0-2 as our subconscious strategies for connection, and can be reinforced or altered through neuroplasticity (thank god). They influence all of our relationship patterns, the people we're attracted to, and how we cope when we feel threatened.
Rather than wait on autopilot with these patterns to see what happens, or try to find a 'secure' partner thinking that will prevent all this trouble (it won't), we can empower ourselves to understand what takes a person from insecurely attached to secure and practice that work until it's natural.
Some benefits of healing your attachment style:
> Accepting yourself without conditions
> Stronger self-esteem
> Free from past fears & insecurities
> Deeper intimacy in relationships
> Independent habits for joy
> Fair expectations of yourself (+ others)
> Develop healthy boundaries
> Clear, healthy communication
> Release old coping mechanisms
> More confidence to act on goals
> Having standards & non-negotiables in life + relationships
Using Integrated Attachment Theory I help you understand & overcome relationship challenges in 6 stages:
Core Beliefs, Needs, Emotional Patterns, Communication, Boundaries, & Coping Mechanisms
How it works:
We work together to audit and shift unhealthy patterns at their root: your subconscious mind.
This helps you heal relationship anxiety (stemming from insecure attachment) as we go through a step-by-step framework that's proven to rewire your brain and heal after attachment trauma.
I tailor this framework for every person I work with to honour their unique situation and life experiences.
You receive results-oriented tools that create breakthroughs about the roots of your challenges and unhelpful patterns, and new perspectives, habits, and strategies to replace them.
You'll gain insight and relief of understanding subconscious patterns, support to help you achieve your personal and relationship goals, and new confidence in your ability to build fulfilling relationships.
On a Personal Note
During my own healing journey, I found so much peace and empowerment through understanding myself and others that it became my passion. I became addicted to my own personal growth and to making sure I broke the cycles that caused me pain in my relationships.
As an imperfect human, I'm still learning and growing everyday. I also have the healthiest and happiest relationships of my life because of the work I've done to care for and deeply understand myself.
I am so honoured to support and guide others through the same methods that helped me to transform my life. Thank you for being here, and I look forward to being part of your journey.
With gratitude, Mico
