Integrating Attachment Theory into Practice....

The three myths of Attachment theory

•    Why we call three of the Attachment styles “adaptations”
•    What it takes to come back to Secure Attachment from one of the adaptations
•    Why this work heals multigenerational patterns
•    How to integrate Attachment for both new and experienced therapists (specific strategies)

I often say that there is a hidden language of Attachment, because every Attachment style has telltale clues. As you learn about each of the Attachment adaptations, you’ll get better and better at knowing your client’s style within a short amount of time.

What is even more useful is, once you’ve determined your clients’ primary Attachment style, you then know what language you can use to speak to them. The approach you use and what works for one Attachment style will most often NOT work for another style.

This is one of the reasons this work is so powerful, because it allows you to understand and modulate your language to get through defenses and build trust, so that you can help your clients make breakthroughs and heal. I share more about this in the video and give you some examples of how this is used in actual sessions:
