Summary
This foundational workshop for the DARe series of live trainings helps you understand the origins, patterns and dynamics of early attachment wounds, which are later “lived out” in our adult relationships.
You’ll gain essential skills you need to help yourself and your clients develop deeper connection, meaning, joy and intimacy in adult relationships by working to break unhealthy patterns, restore secure attachment and heal early attachment wounds.
The 4-day, online workshop blends didactic presentations, demonstrations and experiential exercises. Mental health professionals will learn how to apply and integrate attachment frameworks, techniques and corrective experiences to their clinical practice.
What will we cover?
This training will be held ONLINE using Zoom. All necessary Zoom information––as well as login credentials to the learning portal where you can access additional resource materials, slide handouts and recordings of the training (for 60 days) will be emailed to students before the training

Beginning to advanced clinicians and therapists who want to explore the origins of attachment system dynamics and apply attachment-focused skills, corrective experiences, and interventions to support and restore secure attachment.
Practitioners trained in modalities such as SE, EMDR, IFS, or CBT who want to integrate attachment theory with somatic and nervous system–based interventions.
Clinicians who notice repeating client patterns of withdrawal, anxiety, or ambivalence and want to trace these back to early bonding experiences for more lasting repair.
Therapists who want to help clients move beyond cognitive insight and into embodied experiences of safety, trust, and connection.
