The story doesn't reset at every birthday.
Most therapy practices ask you to pick a lane: attachment science or cultural identity. Child therapy or adult healing. One appointment, one problem, one moment in time.
We don't think that's how families actually work. A mother's unresolved migration grief shapes how she parents. A teenager's racial identity work echoes what her grandmother never got to name. It unfolds.
There wasn't a framework already built for that, one that held migration, race, and family structure together instead of as separate specialties. We wrote our own: Roots vs Routes, published and DOI-registered, not just an idea we talk about.
So we built the practice around the whole arc: pregnancy through elder care, one continuous thread, held by clinicians who understand both the developmental science and the cultural weight your family carries.
Attachment research has never actually supported a single-caregiver, nuclear-family model. It was assumed to. We set out six findings that complicate it, and what Black and Caribbean diasporic caregiving looks like on its own terms.
