These pioneers have defined our understanding of healing, identity, personality development, and resilience.
Together, they’ll guide you through the integration of attachment science with the most influential, evidenced-based approaches in psychotherapy today...
* Internal Family Systems (IFS) * Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)* Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) * Polyvagal Theory * EMDR * Play Therapy * Somatic Therapy * Expressive Arts * Digital Play Therapy * Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

- Recognize why standard attachment models are not always enough
- Apply strategies that combine love and boundaries for real progress
- Identify elements that make therapy effective with struggling families
- Integrate techniques drawn from 28 years of experience working with severe attachment problems
