Healing trauma requires more than insight alone. While attachment theory helps us understand relational patterns, and somatic approaches help regulate the nervous system, many practitioners struggle to integrate these lenses into a coherent, lived process of change.

This introductory DARe Info Session, hosted by DARe Faculty Dr. Liz George, offers a grounded, experiential overview of the Dynamic Attachment Repatterning experience (DARe) Model—an integrative framework for working with trauma through secure connection, nervous system regulation, and relational repair.

Rather than focusing on technique or diagnosis, DARe emphasizes how safety is built, how connection is restored, and how new attachment experiences are embodied over time. Participants will be introduced to the development and core principles of the model and hear how attachment repair unfolds in the body and in relationships.

What You’ll Take Away

• A clear understanding of the core principles of the DARe Model and how it integrates attachment and somatic work
• Insight into how secure connection functions as a primary foundation for trauma healing
• A felt sense of how nervous system regulation and relational safety interact in real time
• Language to describe attachment repair as a process, not a set of interventions
• A clearer sense of whether the DARe approach aligns with your clinical, professional, or personal interests

This session is designed to orient you to the DARe approach—and how DARe training can help you reconceptualize developmental trauma, learn what to prioritize in the healing process, and support lasting change in your clients, without forcing insight or activation.
