What is an attachment? And how do we continue to carry our attachment stories into adulthood?
We begin the story with a primary caretaker, someone who shows us how to attach, to relate, to coregulate and to see others and care for them. If you had an attuned caretaker, then you are most likely to be secure in your attachments. You know what’s good and bad for you, you know when to say yes and no and you know how to explore the world with joy and curiosity.
But what if this wasn’t the case? What if the primary caretaker wasn’t available, and was dealing with their own problems and traumas? What if they showed small windows of attachment while ignoring a bigger picture of possibilities? Is this something that you can regain? This is the question that I will explore during this workshop.
In this workshop we will explore these questions. Maria will speak about styles of attachment and how they work in children and adults. She will provide a basic structure for analysis of attachments, that can be used with clients And will share her experiences of the two TA approaches that she uses in her practice: Berne’s Hungers and Script

Presenter
Maria is an experienced GP who specialises in Gastroenterology and is a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist.
While working in the field of medicine, Maria noticed that the approach of Western medicine is often focused on the treatment of the symptom(s) that the patient is displaying, but rarely pays attention to other possible causes.
Keen to expand her knowledge in this area, Maria went to Moscow to study kinesthetic psychology and the basics of Chinese medicine.
After taking a break from the medical field, Maria decided to train as a Psychotherapist and has studied: – coaching in Erikson’s coaching international, NLP (practitioner) BDG, Kyiv Ukraine and Transactional analysis (completed, P-CTA candidate).
