This conference focuses on the extraordinary neuropeptide oxytocin, and how it enables love, safe attachment and affiliative social bonds to flourish throughout life. Oxytocin supports perceived safety, reproduction and even survival, acting as an anti-inflammatory agent that also protects us from certain diseases. It is a natural medicine and a source of pleasure, connection and passion.
READ MORE...Research has shown that oxytocin is crucial for secure bond formation, and this must include a bond between therapist and client.
Understanding the role of oxytocin in love of all kinds offers access to secrets for optimizing wellbeing and health in a world filled with threat and fear. The brain’s ability to secrete this hormone depends, in part, on sufficient love and care from infancy onwards. We will hear about the consequences of attachment trauma when it disrupts that system, for example in the failure of maternal-infant bond, post-partum depression, premature birth and when sexual partner bonding is problematic. We shall see how a deeper understanding of its effects may enrich the work of psychotherapy.
