Certificate in attachment-focused adult psychotherapy: Advanced course

Create transformative change by supporting your clients in developing secure attachments through adult attachment-focused psychotherapy.

All therapists will find it extremely useful to understand their clients from the perspective of adult attachment. This perspective offers a non-judgmental and hopeful means for both the therapist and clients to understand problems in self-perception and relationships. Although adult attachments develop as a continuum of child attachment and form deeply by adulthood, adults can change them to feel more secure and create mutually satisfying relationships.

This adult attachment-focused psychotherapy training helps participants assess the adult attachment category of their clients. Participants will learn the behaviours associated with each category and use a formal adult attachment assessment.

This training will empower you to:

• Gain expertise in assessing adult attachment categories.
• Learn an attachment-focused therapeutic model with specific strategies for each category.
• Understand the neurology of adult attachment and its application to mental health diagnoses.
• Improve your therapeutic relationships by recognizing your own attachment style.
• Develop skills to help clients achieve secure adult attachment or earned security.
• Apply attachment paradigms to common mental health issues, including BPD.
• Enhance your ability to create meaningful change through the therapist-client relationship.

This comprehensive program will equip you with advanced tools and knowledge to transform your practice and significantly improve client outcomes. Gain a deeper understanding of secure and insecure adult attachment, and learn how to effectively guide your clients towards healthier, more satisfying relationships. Advance your skills in adult attachment-focused psychotherapy and help clients build secure, lasting relationships. Register today!

This certificate program is co-facilitated by Annette Kussin and her daughter, Devra Igra — a mother-daughter team whose combined clinical expertise and personal connection offer a uniquely rich perspective on the topic of Adult Attachment.​
