PART 2 - Counseling from an Attachment Theory Lens for Adults

Welcome to Part 2 of our series, "Counseling from an Attachment Theory Lens for Adults." In this video, we dive deeper into how attachment styles-secure, avoidant, anxious, and disorganized-manifest in therapeutic settings. You'll gain insights into viewing DSM diagnoses through the lens of attachment theory, reframing behaviors traditionally labeled as "attention-seeking" as attachment-seeking instead.
We'll also discuss trauma-informed care, the role of attachment in addiction recovery, and how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) shape attachment patterns. Plus, you'll learn how attachment styles can evolve over time and discover techniques for counselors to provide a secure base for their clients.
This video offers practical tips for counselors and therapists, along with real-world examples and metaphors to clarify complex ideas. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of attachment theory and its application in clinical practice!
