Content:

Participants will review attachment theory and be introduced to developmental frameworks that will help them detect attachment trauma in their clients and join them in exploring protective strategies that are more effective than the current ones they are using.

In this presentation, Julia will help attendees to view attachment as a lens to see humanity and the self, detect signs of abuse and to understand it in framework of attachment, and understand boundaries as a key to healthy attachment.
