Relational Neuroscience of Attachment: Working with Anxious Attachment Style
Relational Neuroscience of Attachment: Working with Anxious Attachment Style
In this course, Ana Lund explains how to use relational neuroscience to work effectively with anxious attachment. You’ll translate second-person neuroscience (social allostasis, inter-brain dynamics) into a clear, stepwise clinical toolbox - moving from empathic rapport and ethical co-regulation to teachable self-regulation, psychoeducation, cognitive reappraisal, and an internal secure base.<br/>
This course is the fourth of a five-part series on this topic. Each of the other courses can be found <a target ="_blank" href="https://www.mentalhealthacademy.com.au/team/ana-lund">here</a>, in the list of Dr. Lund’s courses.
About this course
<p>In this course, psychotherapist Ana Lund, trained in transactional analysis, introduces a neuroscience-informed pathway for working with anxious attachment. She explains social allostasis and the NAMA network model, then shows how to help clients move from anxious activation toward secure attachment. Through a practical sequence - rapport via emotional connection, co-regulation, mindfulness/breathwork, de-pathologising psychoeducation, perspective-taking/reappraisal, cultivating an inner secure base, and script work - clinicians learn to strengthen clients’ self-regulation, resilience beliefs, and self-esteem. Real-world application is foregrounded with case material and decision points germane to outpatient adults.</p>
