In the context of trauma, attachment failure is inevitable. Since early attachment is a body experience, an altered relationship to the body develops: it becomes an enemy, not an ally. Traumatic attachments ‘wire’ the nervous system to over-respond, increasing vulnerability to emotional overwhelm, and compulsive efforts to regulate affect behaviorally. Instead of experiencing relationships as havens of safety, traumatized clients will be driven by powerful wishes and fears of relationship. Is it any wonder that eating disorders develop in this context? This presentation will address how to work with these challenges using techniques that speak to both mind and body.
Content Outline:
Using approaches drawn from the spheres of psychodynamic psychotherapy, from research on attachment behavior, addictions and eating disorders treatment, and somatic approaches to the treatment of trauma, this presentation will use a combination of lecture, demonstration, video, and experiential exercises to explore:
· A neurobiologically informed approach to understanding the impact of trauma on attachment behavior
· How attachment failure affects not only adult attachment behavior but also subsequent capacities to regulate affect and autonomic arousal
· The relationship between affect dysregulation and addictive or self-destructive behavior, including eating disorders
· Interventions that address the effects of attachment failure on mind and body and offer clients new options for regulating their emotions
· How the therapist can address the challenges posed by these clients by becoming a “neurobiological regulator” for clients suffering the effects of attachment-related dysregulation.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, Broken Bonds: Attachment, Trauma and the Body created by Janina Fisher, Ph.D.
