Four Generations in the Room: the Aims of Attachment-Based Therapy with Individual Adults
20 March 2020, 9.30 – 4.30pm
With Linda Cundy (ref: LCM20) £85
The Salvation Army, Bayhall Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN2 4UT
The aim of attachment-informed therapy is to help our clients develop more secure relationships – with their partners, families, colleagues, and with themselves. Becoming more resilient, less anxious, chaotic, or rigidly defended also has positive implications for their children. It is an inter-generational model.
This training day outlines the features of secure attachment that therapy can promote, and will propose particular areas of focus when working with individuals who are anxiously preoccupied, avoidant, or chaotic. It will also draw on research indicating that people who “earn” security through psychotherapy have advantages, particularly as parents, over those who have not faced adversity and have taken their own security for granted.
