Preoccupied people are anxiously attached and feel chronically insecure. Their relationships are often marked by intense emotion, anger and enmeshed dynamics. They can be passionate but also be experienced as needy, demanding, sometimes manipulative, and have been referred to as “borderline borderline”.
As clients they can be challenging to work with, and therapy often feels stuck or ends badly.
READ MORE...Our attachment patterns lay the foundations of unconscious beliefs about ourselves, and expectations we hold of other people and relationships. These belief systems are played out in the therapeutic relationship, affecting transference and countertransference, attitudes to boundaries, and how the therapy is used.
This day will focus on individual therapy with adults, outlining how preoccupied attachment develops and what it looks like in the consulting room. It will highlight difficulties common difficulties that arise in therapy with this client group and propose a specific focus and clear aims for therapeutic work with preoccupied clients. The impact of trauma on those with a Preoccupied core pattern of attachment will also be outlined.
