Delve into the profound connection between attachment theory and bodily experience in this innovative workshop. Widely recognised for its utility in counselling and psychotherapy, attachment theory offers a robust framework for understanding clients’ relational patterns and behaviours. However, the journey doesn’t end there.
This workshop ventures beyond conventional thinking, exploring how attachment patterns are not merely psychological constructs but are intricately woven into the fabric of our physical being—embedded within our neurological pathways and fascial networks. From the earliest interactions, an infant’s physical presence and manner of engaging with the world are sculpted. The innate human actions of reaching out, drawing in, pushing away, releasing, and yielding are all developments rooted in attachment, yet can be significantly impacted by developmental trauma and attachment disruptions.
Our session is designed to be a harmonious blend of theoretical insights and experiential learning. Participants will be guided through a journey to not only understand but also feel how attachment patterns are embodied. Moreover, you will discover how the body itself can transition into new modes of being.
This workshop is an invitation to practitioners seeking to deepen their practice through a holistic understanding of attachment. It promises to introduce practitioners to the knowledge and skills necessary to facilitate profound healing and empowerment for their clients, bridging the gap between cognitive understanding and embodied experience.
Join us for a transformative experience that will enrich your professional practice and enhance your therapeutic relationships. Embrace the opportunity to move from theory to embodied practice, unlocking new pathways to healing and empowerment.
This workshop will be a blend of theory and experiential supporting participants to experience how attachment patterns are held in the body and how the body can move into new ways of being.
