Modern Attachment: Bridging the Science to Real Life
In this session, you’ll receive an update and new perspective on the contemporary application of the relational sciences – attachment, neuroscience and trauma. In addition, you’ll get exciting new tools to make it practical to apply in session and in real life. We will push the conception of “attachment,” moving beyond the traditional use of research categories and add the concept of an attachment spectrum. These ideas will add dynamic nuance when it comes to unconscious patterns of relating. We will deep-dive into each of the attachment leanings with an eye toward the most effective clinical work to make the education and experience most meaningful to you.
But that’s not all…
Panel on relational “security” in marginalized groups
Building security isn’t just an internal mental process – it goes beyond one-on-one relationships. To look at structures that create insecurity, we will have a live conversation with a panel of BIPOC therapists: Dr. Marlon Johnson, Vanessa Newton and Shayla Wilson, to expand our conceptions of what attachment security looks like for marginalized communities. (We hope to facilitate more opportunities to go in-depth with this at a later time!)
Professionally facilitated break-out groups
We will help you ground the learning and explore the material – including your own relational defensive patterns – so that it doesn’t stay just an intellectual exercise.
Lunch
