For Counsellors

Practicing Attachment using the Dynamic Maturation Model of Attachment and Adaptation.

This is for people who want to understand better why they have the feelings, beliefs, impulses or reactions they do, how it impacts relationships, and to better understand why others do things that can frustrate or hurt us.

The afternoon session is for counsellors who want to understand how to identify attachment styles and how to adapt their counselling approach to build a therapeutic relationship and select effective approaches.
