Attachment, Trauma, and Healing Experiential Interventions

Safe, secure and loving parent-child and adult intimate relationships are basic to achieving health and happiness. Early attachment experiences wire connections in the brain, create core beliefs and mindsets, and influence our ability to develop trust, safety, security, emotional closeness, and stability in significant relationships throughout life.
Early developmental trauma, such as abuse, neglect, chaotic family conditions, and abandonment and betrayal, often result in severe anxiety, PTSD, depression, shame, self-contempt, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, toxic and dysfunctional relationships, and medical illnesses. Experiential interventions are effective when treating clients with severe trauma and attachment injuries.
Experiential interventions are meaningful emotional, mental, social and somatic experiences, in a safe and supportive therapeutic setting, that results in the following positive changes and healing:

  • Rewire the traumatized limbic brain.
  • Modify self-destructive core beliefs, attitudes, and narratives.
  • Change trauma-based survival reactions to constructive coping skills.
  • Mitigate trauma-related emotions and behaviors, including anger, fear, loss and grief, shame, aggression, impulsivity and self-harm.
  • Transform anxious and avoidant attachment styles into secure and safe attachments.
  • Utilize constructive communication, problem-solving and conflict-management tools and methods: from rupture to repair.
  • Interrupt destructive intergenerational family dynamics, including abuse, neglect, abandonment, betrayal and disrupted attachment.
  • Change from a victim mindset (powerless, helpless, stuck in the past) to an overcomer identity (confident, empowered, self-accepting, optimistic).
