ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
In this workshops we will explore quieting the threat response in healing overly frightening or chaotic childhood experiences to enhance relative safety and restore healthy connection.
Through experiential learning we will explore how to help heal the disorganized attachment style, known as the most complicated disrupted attachment style which usually involves unresolved developmental trauma.
Disorganized attachment involves autonomic dysregulation and an entangling of the attachment system with the threat response. We will differentiate between situational disorganized and chronic disorganized that may manifest in combination with avoidant attachment or in combination with ambivalent attachment or both.
