This workshop is offering the Generative Attachment Model (GAM) as a 7-step process for working with disorganized attachment style while holding clients with C-PTSD. The intention of GAM is to create a base for more secure attachment to be formed through embodied and relational being. The change in GAM occurs from the experience of connection being received, processed, and digested. GAM offers a generative attachment curve as a way to approach the tension between needing connection and not being able to receive it. Clients are supported in building the capacity to be, know their need, and be able to receive holding, with further transition to developing a balance between co-regulation and self-regulation.
The workshop will be instrumental for practitioners, therapists, and social workers who embrace an attachment lens in C-PTSD support.
Participants will:
Rediscover challenges and resources, while being with clients with disorganized attachment style
Learn Generative Attachment Curve as a sequence of steps to support clients to be able to receive connection
Get embodied experience of the model applied to individual attachment style
Explore application of Generative Attachment Model to one's own practice
