The Therapist's Own Attachment

This full day in-person event describes different patterns of attachment. Using interactive exercises and creative techniques, it enables participants to reflect on their own attachment history and core pattern, and how that may be expressed in their client work and other professional, as well as personal relationships. Participants can then consider their strengths as practitioners and identify areas to develop.
