‘Attachment trauma’ is now a buzzword in the sociocultural discourse. But what does it really mean in psychotherapy today? How do we conceptualise developmental trauma and work with a person with attachment-related trauma when the work is complex? In this seminar, we will explore what ongoing advances in neurobiology and psychotherapeutic theory mean for effectively working with attachment trauma in the therapy room.
READ MORE...Leading experts will reflect on how our understanding of attachment has been updated in the context of current research, which emphasises the centrality of the ‘right brain’ in the relational development of the self. We will use Polyvagal Theory to understand how people with attachment trauma may be frequently operating from their autonomic nervous system, commonly known as a ‘fight flight or freeze response,’ because they feel threatened or unsafe in relationships and experience internal self-alienation. Using Motivational Systems Theory, participants will learn how activating the brain’s collaborative ‘peer-to-peer system’ as an alternative to the ‘attachment system’ could be the key to establishing a therapeutic alliance with clients who may have a disorganised attachment style. We will explore how to skilfully incorporate non-verbal and embodied ‘right brain’ interventions in the co-created therapeutic process, to promote traumatic recovery and healing. We will also discuss the concept of ‘earned secure attachment’ through intersubjective and intrapsychic processes as an outcome of therapeutic change.
The speakers will draw on their own research, publications, and clinical experience to share a wealth of insight and ideas. You can expect a lively discussion, delivered through thought-provoking individual talks, followed by a panel discussion. You will leave with new ideas on how to think about and work with attachment trauma in practice.
