Family Ties

Bringing the impact of intimate relationships to life using a powerful, new tool: Family Ties® !

Family Ties® offers a practice-based, physical model that provides insights to the connections and inner-working of intimate relationships. 

Based on attachment theory, the metaphor of climbing a mountain is used to show the importance of secure attachment relationships. 

It is designed to understand (complex) dynamics between and within people in a simple way and it provides practical tools for change.

Family Ties is a useful tool for children, parents and loved ones surrounding them, for professionals working with families and for teams mandated to make impactful decisions for minors and their parents.

The innovative model goes beyond words — it brings the impact of family dynamics to life by demonstrating the emotional and psychological consequences when a child e.g. aligns with one parent while rejecting the other. 

This powerful visual demonstration makes it clear which responses and interventions are truly helpful, empowering individuals and families to make informed decisions that support healing and reconnection.

The creators hope Family Ties will ease the climb for people experiencing these dynamics in their personal or professional lives.
