Institute -"Using Modern Attachment Theory in Groups: Integrating Affective Neuroscience, the Spectrum of Attachment and Developmental Psychology"

This institute offers therapists an opportunity to explore how to apply modern attachment theory in group in order to enhance security. The way our nervous system plays, fights and rests with others in group can reveal our insecure relational patterns. Using a modern attachment lens we can enhance personal and relational security by exploring preconscious expectations, unconscious enactments, nonverbal messaging and personal blind spots. This training experience is designed to promote effective work with clients who have troubling attachment concerns. All are welcome with a special invitation to those who identify as an outsider or otherwise non-normative.

Leader: Sue Marriott, LCSW, CGP
