Program Description
Attached for Life is a professional development course adapted from an art psychotherapy context that explores attachment theory through a therapeutic arts lens.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of an attachment-informed model focused on dyadic work with children and their caregivers, through a blend of theoretical studies and experiential processes. Participants will reflect upon their own attachment styles and patterns as they understand the impact on relationships and interactions, both professionally and personally.
Attached for Life will build from the foundation of attachment theory, brain development, dynamics of dyadic work, and working with different attachment styles, including insecure and conflicted.
