When clients do not have a history of secure attachments, they may blame themselves for being unable to relate in the way they would like. They impose unrealistic expectations on themselves and then self-punish for their perceived failures.

This online course will provide you with the foundational model and tools of attachment theory specifically tailored for applying to your own clinical practice. You’ll gain the knowledge you need to help your clients develop qualities of secure attachment... no matter the modality you’re working with. You’ll discover:

  • The power of the attachment theory model and how it can inform your clinical practice
  • How understanding the “Key Areas of Focus” can overcome insecure attachment and speed healing with your clients
  • The common patterns of insecure attachment and how to adapt your treatment in response
  • How deficits in key areas of relational experience can lead to insecure attachments
  • And so much more!

Course Outline


 
Evolution of the Attachment Theory Model
 
You’ll discover how and why the attachment theory model originated including the comprehensive research and neuroscience behind it. This module will equip you with the founding principles that will underlie all your future work with attachment theory, so you can help your clients operate from a secure attachment style which they’ve safely earned through your clinical work together.
 
 
Making Use of the Theory
 
Linda takes a deep dive into how you can use attachment theory in your practice. You’ll work with key areas of focus, attachment patterns and more so you can assess the best course of clinical action with each client to heal the deep wounds that can result from attachment injuries.
 
 
Understanding the Relational Attachment Ecosystem
 
To work with attachment theory, you must understand the impact relational systems can have on your clients. Whether it be family dynamics, generational attachment styles or other contributors, Linda will help you to factor these considerations into your practice to ensure you’re providing clients with the best treatment possible.
 
 
Earned Secure Attachment: Coming to Terms with Attachment Grief and Loss
 
When you successfully work with clients to achieve secure attachment styles, there can be a sense of grief, as the client perceives they’ve lost a part of themselves. Linda will share with you her best interventions for working with this sense of loss. You’ll help clients to understand this loss as an essential part of the healing process and show them how they can promote new healthy behaviours to replace these old defence mechanisms.

Anne reveals how complex trauma dynamics can reverberate through groups, teams and institutions... giving you an all-encompassing perspective of how the effect of attachment styles extends to a wide variety of areas in your clients' lives.
