Explore attachment and the development of the self based on a synthesis of research across disciplines and decades
This course will explore how our sense of connection and belonging shapes how we feel about ourselves, relate to others, and engage with life. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the influence of attachment security on our sense of self, personality, states of mind and other developmental facets of our lives across the lifespan. This course will consider the developmental implications of attachment while highlighting key findings in the history of attachment research as well as exciting new practical applications of these discoveries.
This course will provide the concepts and practices allowing each person to increase attachment security and access more adaptive, health-promoting and integrative states of mind.
Utilize IPNB to expand your understanding of attachment
This course will bridge the scientific advances in the field of attachment research and fundamental principles of the field of interpersonal neurobiology. From this expanded perspective, secure attachment is understood as emerging from a relational field that is integrative, while non-secure attachment patterns manifest as states of mind that are strategies of adaptation emerging from non-integrative relational communication. Non-secure states of mind, in turn, can be seen to have blocks to the natural process of integration. Each non-secure attachment strategy is created from and in turn creates unique impairments to the integration of the self, mind, brain and relationships. This course will identify specific blockages to integration and provide a roadmap to facilitate integrative transformation.
Learn to cultivate relational resilience and build security
Relational resilience is an essential skill that allows us to tolerate uncertainty, repair ruptures, and maintain equilibrium in the face of challenges. This applies to the many different relational systems we live within, including personal, professional, public, and planetary systems. Providing the tools to cultivate relational resilience in the various systems in which we live, this course empowers participants by offering the essential concepts and skills to build integrative relationships in the many relationships of our lives.
Course Overview
This course will explore how relationships shape our development and well-being across the lifespan. We will highlight the central role that attachment plays in shaping our inner experience and social relationships. This will include an in-depth view of how attachment impacts the development of our sense of self, mental states, and personality. We will review in-depth attachment research and theory and discuss clinical implications and offer practical applications. This will include expanding definitions of attachment, dispelling misconceptions, and outlining a clear pathway to integrative transformation toward security.
From an interpersonal neurobiology lens, attachment can be understood as relational integration. Many of the challenges that arise from non-secure attachment patterns involve impaired integration of the self, brain, mind, and relationships. We will explore the specific cause and impact of non-secure attachment for each of these domains. Further, we will explain the corresponding mechanisms of integrative change that enhance functioning in these areas. You will learn to utilize the flexible nature of neuroplasticity and the power of the mind and relationships to cultivate more integrative states of being.
We will also explore the notion of relational resilience and the role it can play in facilitating integration in the many relational systems we are a part of — personal, professional, public and planetary. The stability of these systems depends on the ability to maintain equilibrium even in the face of challenges. The skills that promote relational resilience can be learned across the lifespan. This course will provide the practical tools necessary to increase the ability to navigate relational challenges with integrative harmony and a sense of wholeness in life.
Here are some highlights of what you will learn:
- Learn key findings in the history of attachment research as well as advancements in theory, research and clinical applications
- Discover the relationship characteristics that correlate to each attachment pattern
- Learn how attachment experiences impact the development of a sense of self
- Understand the principles of attachment from an interpersonal neurobiology perspective
