Exploring the Essential Features of “Attachment Science: The Holy Grail for Psychotherapy Practice – Susan Johnson”
This presentation will focus on the principles of attachment – the most comprehensive and empirically based developmental, relational approach to personality growth and development ever created. Attachment science tells us who we are – our deepest longings and fears, and how we grow into emotional balance and resilience or become stuck in cycles of depression, anxiety and trauma responses. It provides a map for the therapist so that accurate attunement to each client’s inner and relational world is facilitated and a secure connection with self and with key others is made possible. Emotionally Focused Therapy uses this map to consistently and precisely shape core change events that significantly change the core patterns that make up the clients inner and relational world.
