The effects of traumatic attachment are the most frequent complication in treating trauma. Rather than experiencing others as a haven of safety, traumatized clients are driven by powerful wishes and fears of relationship. Even the presence of the therapist may be triggering and autonomically dysregulating. Although our methods, such as EMDR, Thought Field Therapy, and Emotional Freedom Techniques, are very effective approaches to treating trauma, their use can be undermined by fears.
We will explore how the destabilizing effects of therapy and therapists for clients with traumatic attachment issues can be addressed by integrating somatic and mindfulness-based approaches into treatment.
OBJECTIVESJanina Fisher, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist and former instructor, Harvard Medical School. An international expert on the treatment of trauma, she is the author of several books, including Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Self-Alienation.

What is the nature of reality, the role of consciousness in the physical world, and the relationship between brain and mind? In Western traditions, for millennia, these were topics discussed only by philosophers. Over the past few centuries, science has begun to tackle these fundamental questions, and the results are converging toward a worldview that not long ago was dismissed as esoteric folklore. As the shift in the scientific paradigm accelerates, the future of technology, healthcare, business, and beyond will necessarily change. We will explore the promises and challenges that will accompany this remarkable evolution in our collective worldview.
