The nature of the attachment bond to our
primary caregivers established in early childhood has far reaching implications
for the developing individual over the whole life span. The attachment experience influences; thinking
patterns, stability or instability, resilience or vulnerability in how we deal
and meet the challenges and stressors of life, physiology, growth, emotional
capacity, life satisfaction, & parenting styles. These primary attachment patterns underlie
our personality and shape our capacity as adults to connect, attune, love and
relate to significant others. Neuropsychologists
who have investigated into the physiology of relatedness inform us that
attachment penetrates to the neural core of what it means to be human.
Attachment theory has been well researched since
the pioneering work of John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth and others. The theory forms a theoretical underpinning
of psychodynamic psychotherapy and understanding ourselves in relationship to
others. While a lot has been written on
the subject there has been less cultivation of the skills & techniques that
foster repair and healing of these basic patterns.
The program will focus on understanding, healing
and transformation of ones attachment pattern, to cultivate a greater sense of
inner security, happiness and love. The
healing techniques will draw from; mindfulness & loving-kindness meditation
techniques, Hakomi psychotherapy, Dan Browns in-depth work & Dan Siegel’s book
“The Developing Mind” and Dr. Robert Karen’s book “Becoming Attached”. We will also address Buddhist notions and
views of non-attachment and where that fits on the spectrum of
interconnectedness.
