Day 2 on our Relational Integrative Psychotherapy diploma. As therapists, what are we providing our clients in the developmentaly needed relationship? How do we attend to the emotionally ruptured parts our clients and position ourselves as a source of repair? Looking at self psychology and transference, holding our clients in mind, working with regression, inquiry, attunement and involvement, we expand our clients sense of safety and connection.

Day 1 of our Relational Integrative Psychotherapy diploma, and continuing our human development module. Today we explored Mahlers proposal that we move from fusion with our primary caregiver and no sense of self, toward a separate individuated self with internal representations of others. Some argue that her theory feels a less relational concept than that of Stern's theory of our senses of self. A day of debate and curiosity!

Arguably a great deal of trauma occurs in relationship, in childhood with parents, relatives, schoolteachers etc, in later years with co-workers/ bosses, partners etc. It makes sense therefore, that same trauma can be healed in relationship.

On our last Attachment module weekend for the Relational Integrative Psychotherapy diploma, we delivered the contributions of Alice Miller's the Drama of Being a Child, Wallin's attachment enactments and Sue Gerhardt's Why Love Matters, including concepts of the gifted child (one who learns to be the emotional antennae for the family), how attachment patterns show up in therapy and the neuroscience of how these patterns are laid down in the brain as a response to our early experiences.
