Would you like to be more effective in working with your personality disordered clients? In this two-part webinar series, you will learn how attachment trauma affects the developing brain and contributes to the development of personality disorders. Understanding this often ignored factor can help you more easily develop rapport, avoid frustration, and increase positive outcomes by selecting strategies that repair attachment wounds. Drawing from research that has found an association between attachment trauma and personality disorders, you’ll learn evidence-based treatment strategies that help you create a strong therapeutic alliance, manage enactments, and teach clients how to have healthy relationships with themselves and others.
