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
