Attachment, Trauma, and Psychotherapy
- 11 hours
- 7 Lesson(s)
- All Levels
As we continue to discover more about neural integration and the deeply social nature of the brain, we are moving towards remarkable new insights into the nature of the mind. Three human experiences have been documented to promote well-being: secure attachment, mindfulness meditation, and effective psychotherapy. In this course, you will explore how these systems share similar neural mechanisms, and the implications that this has for both attaining a state of well-being and transforming the brain.
Discover how the classic descriptions of major psychopathology–from autism to bipolar disorder–reveal blockages to neural differentiation and linkage in regions of the brain involved in social cognition and self-regulation. Take home new approaches to clinical assessment that are based on revealing the precise impairment to integration, and offer a new conceptual framework for your clinical practice.
Learning Objectives for Participating Health Care Professionals
At the end of the program, you will be better able to:
- Describe the differences among secure, ambivalent, anxious, and disorganized attachment categories
- Utilize findings from the Adult Attachment Interview with clinical assessment and treatment
- Analyze ways in which traumatic experiences impact neural development, structure, and function
- Describe impairment of integration in memory processes in everyday life and in trauma
- Describe the role of both implicit and explicit memory in trauma resolution and health
- Describe ways in which the brain develops and changes through relationships, consciousness, and neuroplasticity
- Analyze how Presence, Attunement, and Resonance foster Trusting relationships–the PART we play in psychotherapy
- Describe how integration is the basis of well-being in both the human brain and interpersonal relationships

Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals, as well as the general public.
This course offers health care providers a scientific foundation in understanding how relationships shape the regulatory networks in the human brain–and how traumatic experiences, especially early in life, disrupt their integrative growth. With this research-based framework addressing the role of neural integration in well-being, a clinician may approach any modality of psychotherapy with new strategies to facilitate integration within the nervous system and within the crucial interpersonal relationships that form the foundations of a meaningful life.
