In Person CPD Workshop: Avoidant Attachment with Linda Cundy

πŸ—“ Friday, 21 November 2025 | Freud Museum London

How do we work with clients who long for connection but keep us at arm’s length?

Avoidant attachment is more than a relational style, it’s a powerful defensive strategy shaped in infancy by emotional neglect, rejection, or criticism. This advanced in-person workshop with renowned attachment specialist Linda Cundy will explore:
β€’ How early caregiving shapes defensive self-sufficiency and emotional guardedness.
β€’ How working with avoidance can evoke frustration, futility, or disconnection in the countertransference.
β€’ How we hold a stance that respects the client’s need for distance and gently invites connection that was foreclosed in infancy.

Programme Highlights:
πŸ•‘ Feeling De-skilled: The Therapist’s Experience
πŸ•’ Emotional Distancing as Defence
πŸ•” Clinical Integration & Discussion

Linda Cundy is an Attachment-Based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, supervisor, and the Attachment Consultant to the Bowlby Centre β€” with over 25 years of experience training clinicians in the complexities of attachment work.
