The method
The method
behind Rooted.
A clinically informed approach to understanding attachment patterns through narrative.
CAAP©
Clinical Adult Attachment Protocol
A structured interview-based framework designed to identify adult attachment patterns and translate insight into clear, usable language.
-
Adapted from respected attachment research
Built on the foundation of the Adult Attachment Interview, one of the most respected tools in attachment research.
-
Structured around narrative, not surveys
It focuses not only on what happened, but on how experiences are narrated and organized.
-
Supported by careful AI analysis
AI supports consistent transcript analysis within a structured methodology — not as a replacement for human understanding.
-
Designed for insight, not diagnosis
CAAP© preserves depth and care while making attachment insight more accessible.
Understanding attachment
Three quiet questions, lived
across a lifetime.
-
Trust
Is it safe to depend on others — and to be depended on?
-
Closeness
How do I move toward and away from connection?
-
Emotional regulation
How are difficult feelings met, named, and repaired?
Role of AI
AI supports the analysis. It does not replace human understanding.
Rooted uses AI to support consistent transcript analysis within a structured methodology. The goal is to identify meaningful narrative patterns — not reduce a person to a simplistic label.
- Deeper self-understanding
- Clearer relationship patterns
- Structured reflection
- Attachment-informed growth
INTEGRITY & LIMITS
What CAAP© is not.
-
Not a diagnostic tool
-
Not a replacement for therapy
-
Not a tool for judging or labeling
