GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The majority of people seeking treatment have insecure attachment styles. They present with a variety of diagnoses, have difficulty regulating their emotions, and are often difficult to treat. By attending this workshop, you will learn to create an effective attachment-based compassion therapy framework that integrates emerging research and treatments rooted in attachment theory, neurophysiology, and compassion.
You will leave this hands-on, clinical workshop with an ability to use this framework to develop a healing therapeutic relationship and to use specific techniques to help clients and patients regulate their affect, nurture compassionate self-awareness, and increase secure attachment. Dr. Becker-Phelps will teach you to use various interventions aimed at increasing awareness in five domains (STEAM): Sensations, Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, and Mentalizing. Other interventions that increase self-compassion and compassionate self-awareness will also be presented. In addition, the workshop will show you when to integrate various treatment approaches, such as mentalization-based therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion-based treatment, sensory-based treatment, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Understand how insecure attachment undermines healthy relationships with self and others, impairs affect regulation, and keeps people stuck in unhealthy patterns
Understand the ways in which developing self-compassion and compassionate self-awareness can increase well-being
Guide treatment interventions using three functions of the attachment system and the five fundamental domains of awareness
Master how and when to integrate other modalities of treatment
