Families ideally should provide an intersubjective sense of security, intimacy, trust, and acceptance to their members, but are often sources of terror, loneliness, shame, and unresolved grief and loss. To do the highly demanding work of helping families repair shredded attachment bonds (or build them anew), a therapist can't afford to assume a traditionally neutral or impersonal clinical stance, but must make full use of her "self" and take part in the same kind of intersubjective engagement she wants to bring about within the family. In this workshop, you'll learn how to achieve a true meeting of mind and heart within sessions that's characterized by playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy. Together we'll explore the three central components of intersubjective experience—attunement, shared awareness, and shared intentions—that form the core of the family attachment process. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of how to fully connect with attachment disordered clients.
