Attachment Injuries in Everyday Relationships

In this course, registered psychologist Rachel Tomlinson introduces a practical attachment-informed approach to recognising and responding to attachment injuries as they appear in therapy, including reassurance seeking, withdrawal, idealisation, rupture, boundary testing, and fear of rejection. The course explores how unmet needs for safety, consistency, responsiveness, attunement, and repair can shape clients’ relational patterns, and shows clinicians how to use curiosity-based language, therapeutic boundaries, and real-time relational awareness to support corrective experiences in clinical practice.
