Introduction to Primary Attachment Therapy: Attachment, Embodiment & Professional Intimacy
What happens when we bring our attention to attachment as it is unfolding, right here and right now?
This introductory on-demand workshop offers a foundation in the principles and practices of Primary Attachment Therapy (P.A.T.). Through a series of lectures and experiential exercises, you’ll be introduced to P.A.T.’s approach to working with attachment in the immediate therapeutic relationship.
Together, we’ll explore the transpiring present moment, foundational attachment concepts, embodied security, and the skills of tracking, contacting, and validating. You’ll also have an opportunity to experience an embodied practice for anchoring a more secure state.
In this 3-hour On-Demand workshop, you’ll explore:
- An introduction to P.A.T. and its foundational principles
- Working in the transpiring present moment
- The Circle of Security and foundational attachment concepts
- Embodied security in adults
- An experiential practice for embodiment and anchoring a secure state
- Tracking, contacting, and validating as core P.A.T. skills
This workshop is designed to give you a felt and conceptual introduction to the P.A.T. approach and to prepare you for deeper experiential learning in the full Primary Attachment Therapy Training.
