Relationship (Re)Programming: Understanding & Addressing the Role of Attachment Styles on Romantic Relationships
Copyright :
Relationship (Re)Programming: Understanding & Addressing the Role of Attachment Styles on Romantic Relationships, takes a different approach to couples counseling, as it aims to assist our clients in truly understanding what is underlying the dysfunction in their relationships and equips them with the awareness, healing, and skills to make lasting relational changes.
Traditional couples counseling has historically placed a large emphasis on treating the symptoms of relational dysfunction, such as conflict and communication, versus addressing the root cause of these issues. Unfortunately, this often leads to a band-aid approach to couples counseling, which can be very disheartening for both the client and the clinician, due to the same relational issues ultimately resurfacing over time.
As a result of this training, you will be able to effectively guide your couples clients through the process of identifying their current attachment styles and how they were formed. You will also be equipped with the knowledge and skills to assist them in understanding the events that trigger their attachment wounds present-day, as well as how their attachment triggers are keeping them stuck in a cycle of disconnection. With this approach, you will be able to support your clients in getting to the root of their relational struggles, identify ways to prevent and address these ongoing cycles of relational pain and dysfunction, as well as help them to increase safety, connection, and intimacy in their relationship.
Couples counseling can at times feel very daunting and overwhelming, especially if it feels you are continuing to spin your wheels, and yet are not obtaining sustainable outcomes. By shifting your approach to focusing on the core of relational dysfunction (i.e., attachment wounds), and what we can do about this, it will lead to the relational transformation that both you and your clients so deeply desire.
