Course Description
We all carry around wounds, behaviors and beliefs about ourselves and others form our earliest attachments, which direct our lives. Research shows that when people fail to make sense of their past, they find themselves reliving and recreating it.. Presentation will focus on methods for helping clients create coherent narratives of early attachment trauma. This allows them to develop a sense of inner security through resolving unresolved trauma. It will integrate findings from attachment research, Interpersonal Neurobiology and separation theory.
Dr. Firestone will draw upon the latest research and outline the process of writing a coherent narrative. latest findings in neurobiology show that when a person writes a coherent narrative, they rewire their brain to feel more secure within themselves and their relationship. Creating a coherent narrative also contributes to developing earned secure attachment.
