9-4 with lunch from 12-1 \u00a0Atlantic Time<\/p>\n

Many adult clients enter therapy presenting with concerns such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, or chronic feelings of shame without recognizing how these patterns may be rooted in early attachment experiences. Attachment patterns formed in early caregiving relationships shape how individuals regulate emotion, perceive safety, connect with others, and understand themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

This 6-hour experiential workshop provides therapists with a practical framework for recognizing attachment-related patterns in adult clients who may not initially identify their difficulties as attachment-based. Participants will explore how early relational experiences influence adult coping strategies, interpersonal relationships, and internal working models.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through case examples, reflective exercises, clinical discussion, and applied interventions, therapists will develop skills to identify attachment dynamics, conceptualize client struggles through an attachment lens, and introduce therapeutic interventions that support relational repair and emotional integration.<\/span><\/p>\n

This training is appropriate for counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals who work with adult clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Describe<\/b> the core principles of attachment theory and the development of internal working models.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Explain<\/b> how early relational experiences influence adult emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and identity development.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Identify<\/b> common presenting issues in adult therapy that may reflect underlying attachment disruptions.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Apply<\/b> attachment-informed case conceptualization to adult client scenarios.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Analyze<\/b> adult relational patterns through the lens of attachment strategies (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized).<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Differentiate<\/b> between trauma responses and attachment adaptations in adult client behaviour.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Evaluate<\/b> therapeutic interventions that support attachment repair in adult psychotherapy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Develop<\/b> attachment-informed therapeutic responses and interventions that increase emotional safety and relational awareness in adult clients.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
