Attachment, Trauma and Bodymind: Deep Listening with an Ear for Attachment in our Psychotherapeutic Space Time Workshop by Prof Loyola Mclean
Hobson deeply attended to Forms of Feeling, at a time when attachment theory had not yet delivered the fullness of gifts it has since. We now understand the importance of attachment histories and current states of mind and the role of acute, chronic and complex trauma in presentations for psychotherapy. However, we have not all had enough training in applying the body of knowledge from attachment, trauma, neuroscience and linguistics in a practical way to our assessments and formulation and integrated management plans and helping us understand moments of collision and impasse.
This workshop will share an introduction to knowledge from a coder and trainer in the Adult Attachment Interview and experience in trauma-informed psychiatry, bodymind medicine and psychotherapy with extensive clinical, teaching and research experience.
The aim is to deepen the listening skills of clinicians with some knowledge of the living data in the room to improve our assessments and formulations and psychotherapeutic journeys. Some poignant material from clinical AAIs and sessions will be considered through that attachment and discourse lens to help us deeply listen to the experience and voice of the patient and close observation of embodiment to consider how we can formulate collaboratively and positively and contingently connect. Some templates and resources will be shared to support this area of practice. From the “cradle to grave”, from the “womb to the tomb”, we need each other, and our organization and disorganization across the layers of “systems” speaks to what is good enough and what “gets in the way”.
