Overview for Redeveloping Secure Adult Attachments: A Journey of Awareness, Mourning and Change

A brief description about this Activity.

Relationships with caregivers in the early years have a profound influence on an adult’s self-perceptions, perception of others and his/her capacity for intimate relationships. Adults with secure attachments and healthy mutual adult relationships usually have had consistent nurturing and care from parents or caregivers. Adults with a history of inconsistent parenting, rejection or severe neglect and abuse develop insecure attachments. Yet such insecure adults can redevelop secure attachments in adulthood. By understanding the impact of early childhood experiences on their personality development and present relationships, mourning the losses and longings from these early child/parent relationships and developing a non-judgmental mindful stance toward their adult attachment and relationship patterns, adults can develop greater security. This workshop will present the categories of adult attachment, methods of assessing for these categories and a model of therapy and interventions for therapists. In this model clients will learn: • their adult attachment category, • how it unconsciously influences their intimate relationships • how to develop greater security through the therapeutic relationship • how to risk new and healthy interactive patterns in present relationships. The therapist’s awareness of her/his own attachment is important in their work with clients. Case examples, videos and role playing will be presented to demonstrate the interventions. Case examples, videos and role playing will be presented to demonstrate the interventions.
