Attachment Styles 101

Supporting your teen through therapy can feel overwhelming, but your role is not to have all the answers—it is to provide steady support and a safe space at home. This article reminds parents that therapy works best when teens are allowed to have privacy, process at their own pace, and feel heard without pressure. It also emphasizes that healing takes time, and small acts like listening, validating feelings, and showing up consistently can make a big difference.

Therapist Spotlight

Sarah Stallo, LCSW recently completed Attachment: Creating Connection through Play Therapy, a training focused on the foundations of attachment theory, the relationship between trauma and attachment, and attachment-based approaches used in play therapy. This knowledge will strengthen Sarah’s clinical work by helping her recognize attachment-related concerns, tailor treatment goals, and use developmentally appropriate play-based strategies.

Practice Announcements

As many of you know, our Rollins Street office experienced significant flooding last month. After much consideration, we have made the decision that Morning Glory Christian Counseling will not be returning to our Rollins location.

While this was certainly not a transition we anticipated, we are incredibly grateful that we were able to quickly find spaces that allow us to continue caring for our clients with very little interruption. Most of our MGCC team is now seeing clients at our Downtown office, and Hayley is temporarily seeing clients from a separate office here in Moberly. If you have an upcoming appointment, please be sure to check your appointment information for the correct location.

We are grateful for our time at Rollins and for all that took place within those walls. The growth, healing, prayer, and meaningful work that happened there will always be an important part of Morning Glory’s story and now, we’re looking forward to what comes next. Thank you to our clients and community for the kindness, flexibility, and support you have shown us through an unexpected season of change. We are deeply grateful. Morning Glory is still here, and we’re excited for this next chapter.

Recently our team read The Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson and discussed it together. The book explores how shame shapes our identity, thoughts, relationships, and spiritual lives, combining neuroscience, psychology, and Christian theology to show how vulnerability, community, and God’s love can help rewrite the harmful stories we believe about ourselves. It is especially suited for Christians, counselors, parents, leaders, and anyone struggling with insecurity, self-criticism, past wounds, or the fear of being exposed.
