Using the adult attachment interview in individual or couple therapy using play based interventions.

This one day online workshop will support the therapists working with adults and couples to gain insight in how previous attachment relationships and attachment disruptions impact current relationships. Additionally, we will explore how to help the client make meaning of these patterns of experience and behaviour.

Learning Outcomes include:

• Reviewing 20 questions that can be utilized during the assessment phase to explore previous attachment relationships and ruptures.
• Engaging in dyadic practice to explore how to ask these questions verbally with clients as well as what it feels like to answer these questions.
• Experiencing how to process these questions using play based and/or activity based interventions.
• Identifying ways to assist clients to change their patterns of interaction after they have reflecting on how early experiences impact current functioning. * * *NOTE: this training does not enable participants to code the AAI. Questions are only being utilized as an adult attachment experience.
