DARe Live Level 1
Fundamentals of Attachment Styles

Summary

This foundational workshop for the DARe series of live trainings helps you understand the origins, patterns and dynamics of early attachment wounds, which are later “lived out” in our adult relationships.

You’ll gain essential skills you need to help yourself and your clients develop deeper connection, meaning, joy and intimacy in adult relationships by working to break unhealthy patterns, restore secure attachment and heal early attachment wounds.

The 3-day, online workshop blends didactic presentations, demonstrations and experiential exercises. Mental health professionals will learn how to apply and integrate attachment frameworks, techniques and corrective experiences to their clinical practice.

What will we cover?

  • How over-coupling dynamics in early childhood “family of origin” attachment patterns affect adult relationship patterns and behaviors.
  • How to identify and distinguish secure, avoidant ambivalent and disorganized attachment adaptations.
  • Which corrective experiences can help resolve fixed attachment patterns and emotional wounds.
  • How to restore secure attachment in a therapeutic setting more easily and effectively as you help clients repair and heal their early attachment wounds.

This training will be held ONLINE using Zoom. All necessary Zoom information––as well as login credentials to the learning portal where you can access additional resource materials, slide handouts and recordings of the training (for 60 days) will be emailed to students before the training.

Date/Time

Thursday, February 4
 - Sunday, February 7
9 am
 - 5 pm
 MT (each day)
Prerequisite: None

Note, this Level 1 training is a prerequisite for all other DARe or Attachment & Trauma Mastery training. All other remaining levels may be taken in any order.

Who Is This For?

  • You’re a therapist, social worker or counselor who wants to learn the basics of attachment theory (and dynamics of the four attachment adaptations), so you can better understand how early childhood experiences and trauma affect adult relationships today.
  • Beginning to advanced clinicians and therapists who want to explore the origins of attachment system dynamics and apply attachment-focused skills, corrective experiences, and interventions to support and restore secure attachment.
  • Practitioners trained in modalities such as SE, EMDR, IFS, or CBT who want to integrate attachment theory with somatic and nervous system–based interventions.
  • Clinicians who notice repeating client patterns of withdrawal, anxiety, or ambivalence and want to trace these back to early bonding experiences for more lasting repair.
  • Therapists who want to help clients move beyond cognitive insight and into embodied experiences of safety, trust, and connection.
  • Professionals working with individuals or couples who struggle with fear of closeness, emotional dependence, or difficulty maintaining intimacy.
  • Early-career therapists and interns looking for step-by-step methods, guided demonstrations, and client-friendly language that builds confidence in working with attachment systems.
  • Seasoned practitioners who want to refine their ability to identify and transform developmental adaptations rooted in early neglect, inconsistency, or misattunement.
  • Educators, supervisors, and group facilitators who want accessible models and experiential exercises to teach secure attachment repair in professional or training contexts.
  • Body-oriented or mindfulness-based practitioners who wish to expand their understanding of how somatic regulation supports attachment healing.
  • Anyone committed to trauma-informed, attachment-based work who wants to help clients build secure internal templates for safety, love, and connection.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain and describe three qualities of the secure attachment caregiver’s style.
  • Identify three parenting behaviors that might contribute to the avoidant attachment adaptation in a child.
  • Describe at least two characteristics of the avoidant attachment adaptation style.
  • Identify three parenting behaviors that might contribute to the anxious/ambivalent attachment adaptation in a child.
  • Describe at least two characteristics of the anxious/ambivalent attachment adaptation style.
  • Identify three parenting behaviors that might contribute to the disorganized attachment adaptation in a child.
  • Describe at least two characteristics of the disorganized attachment adaptation style.
  • Write one clinical corrective experience that may help a client return to secure attachment if they are exhibiting behaviors and patterns consistent with an insecure attachment adaptation (either avoidant, anxious/ambivalent or disorganized attachment style).
  • Describe how prosody (intonation, tone) by gender can be used to communicate comfort and safety to others in comparison to the use of voice in alerting others to threat.
  • Explain the importance of Stephen Porges’ theory related to the Social Engagement system and the correlation of threat extinction.
  • Using the results of a client’s Attachment Questionnaire, evaluate how the results determine their predominant attachment style.
  • Using the results of a client’s Attachment Questionnaire, evaluate how the results determine their predominant attachment style.
  • Identify two key areas that need to be tracked simultaneously when tracking an attachment wound.
  • Describe and explain how attachment adaptations and patterns can be fluid in different situations or relationships.
  • Name at least three ways to resource secure attachment for yourself and/or clients.

We would love for you to participate in the entire training live, but if you are unable to do so, each day’s sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the course learning portal the following day so you can rewatch them at your convenience. However, course materials and replay recordings will only be available for 60 days after course completion.

Please note that, if you do miss part of a class, we are only allowed to provide CE credit for FULL in-person attendance at a training module or workshop. Participants must attend all hours to receive credit. No credit can be awarded for partial attendance or for those participants who make up the missed time by watching the replay videos.

Yes. Approximately two weeks before the live workshop training, we’ll send you login information to access the course materials in Kajabi, which is a central location that is your personal learning dashboard. In Kajabi, you’ll find the daily agenda, course manual, list of participants, demo videos, slide handouts and additional resources like exercises, handouts and worksheets.

Each day’s sessions will be recorded and uploaded to your personal learning dashboard, so you can re-watch them at your convenience. Additionally, the program materials are yours to download and keep in your professional reference library. The only thing you cannot download are demos––because we need to respect client confidentiality.

Please note, course materials and replay recordings will only be available for 60 days after course completion at which time you will no longer be able to access the training.

Please email our Customer Support Team if you have special needs and we will do our best to accommodate you.
