This course will focus on working with adults and children that have experienced attachment trauma. We will focus on how to approach work and healing with people attachment issues with a trauma informed approach. We will fully explain how attachment is formed from a neuro scientific perspective.

The training will explore the ACES and attachment-based work that supports clients in healing attachment wounds.
