Attachment—Based counselling and therapy has multiple approaches. This workshop explores how to conceptualise and apply a range of evidenced Attachment-based approaches in an integrated manner. The integrated manner utilises a unique overlay of models that lay the foundation of conceptualising the moment of interaction in an attachment-based framework to analyse what moment is this? For both the client and the therapist. Once the moment is understood, the intervention choice and action steps are easier to apply.
The neuroscience of care-giving and parenting is critical to responding to the needs of all children, especially those traumatised and at-risk children and young people. An in-depth understanding of attachment and the process of therapeutic engagement has been used as the basis for the development of integrated attachment-based counselling and therapy. It is also at the heart of family functioning and therapeutic relationships. Our training aims to strengthen therapeutic relationships, client’s parenting capacity through enhancing reflective functioning, arousal and trauma response management as well as helping clinicians, clients, parents and children understand their survival strategies and provide extra tools for living and relational responding.
The workshop explores;
Dynamic Maturational Model,
Circle of Security,
Mentalising,
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy,
Neuroscience of development,
Trauma informed approaches,
Somatic and body connections.
A must for any counsellor, therapist, psychiatrist, youth worker, case manager, support worker, psychologist, social worker, play therapist, disability worker, teacher, trainer, coach, analyst or psycho-dynamic workers.
