Born to Love Workshop

Born to Love Workshop

Healing ones Attachment pattern
4 week Group Program

Teacher:  Subhana Barzaghi
 
The 4 week program will offer:-
* Brief overview of attachment theory: – Secure attachment and the three insecure attachment patterns; ambivalent or preoccupied, avoidant and disorganised attachment.
* Understanding ones individual attachment style
* Experiential exercises to repair and heal ruptures to ones attachment pattern. Learn to internalise and grow a secure sense of self, positive self-esteem, sense of agency, resilience and vitality. 

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.
