Overview
Whether attachment trauma occurred in childhood or adulthood, building healthy attachments can be a challenging journey.
Childhood trauma often means that the frame through which we view relationships is dysfunctional or unhealthy. Understanding what healthy attachment looks like and how to grow it can be life changing as relationships that used to produce anxiety or frustration can become fulfilling and meaningful.
Adulthood attachment trauma as a result of divorce, death and loss, or other separations can result in a hesitancy to trust again. How do we restore trust in a relationship? How do we know who to trust and who our heart is safe with? Re-establishing confidence in our ability to trust again can help us to re-engage in relationships where vulnerability and felt safety are found.
In this workshop, Dr. Christina Reese, a clinical counselor with over 20 years of experience, attachment and relationship specialist and published author, will explore the development of attachment trauma and effective strategies for healing and repair.
She will go over the mechanisms of ruptures and repair, how to restore felt safety and security after childhood or adulthood trauma, how to improve relationship skills with personality disorders, how to teach emotion regulation and the characteristics of healthy relationships so that you can guide your clients towards more fulfilling and more secure ways of connecting with others.
She will cover:
- The mechanisms of rupture and repair in relationships,
- Strategies for restoring a sense of safety and security following trauma in both childhood and adulthood,
- Approaches for enhancing relational skills in clients with personality disorders,
- Techniques for teaching emotional regulation,
- Techniques to build healthy relationships.
Everything you need to guide your clients toward more fulfilling and secure connections with others.
