Attachment and the Neurobiology of Relationships

Presented by: Kristie Baber, MSW, LICSW, CCTP

When: Wednesday, February 26th, 2025 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time

Continuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs | $190.00

This workshop focuses on one of the most critical components in mental health, social development, and therapeutic intervention across our lifespan – attachment.

This class will demonstrate that attachment is a journey, rather than the predetermined lifelong limitation a jaded clinical view might indicate. It typifies the astounding adaptability and hope inherent in humans – the reasons we believe in our work as therapists.

This workshop will give therapists and other helping professionals working with all age populations an understanding of attachment theory, patterns and clinical presentations, as well as practical tools to create sustainable and effective therapeutic change. We will explore how attachment develops and evolves across a lifespan, influencing all of our relationships. Teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion, lecture with clinical examples, video illustrations, and individual/group case exercises.

Core Workshop Objectives:

  • Identify key factors that impact and influence our baseline neurobiology such as brain development, memory systems, and trauma.
  • Understand attachment theory, as well as attachment patterns and clinical presentations.
  • Learn the various ways attachment styles impact our lives and all types of relationships.
  • Recognize attachment as one of core components in the therapeutic relationship.
  • Discuss attachment-based therapies for children, adolescents, adults, and couples.
