How do harmful religious and spiritual experiences shape a client's capacity for connection? This 90-minute virtual training dives into the clinical applications of attachment theory for survivors of religious and spiritual trauma. We'll examine the complex dynamics of high-control systems that can contribute to developmental trauma and disorganized attachment styles. You'll learn the common signs and symptoms of these unique attachment wounds and treatment strategies for supporting clients. Lastly, we'll address the ethical implications for clinicians navigating their own biases and attachment histories.
