In this episode, Eden and I discuss attachment theory and talk about how EMDR therapy can help people with insecure attachments heal from their wounds and trauma. I share part of my story and get vulnerable in hopes of encouraging others to know that healing is possible. I hope you enjoy the episode and maybe even find encouragement and hope.
In this episode we discuss:
What is Attachment Theory?
A way of understanding people’s behavior and motivations through our relational patterns. Those patterns develop from day one between the primary caregiver and infant. This core relationship gives us the rules that we apply to all relationshipsAttachment is essentially a bond that we create for the purpose of safetyThe four Attachment Styles:
SecureAnxiousAvoidantFearful-DisorganizedWhat is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprograming: a way of reconnecting to a memory that creates stress or a traumatic experienceEMDR allows you to access those memories and allows you to process it and get “unstuck” from that experienceHow EMDR can help an insecurely attached parent?
We have core attachment needs. Those with insecure attachments didn’t get some of those core needs met and that can result in distorted beliefs about ourselvesEMDR can help resolve those unhelpful beliefs and integrate a helpful resource to help us develop more secure attachments with othersI can discuss a little bit of my own story, having a disorganized attachment, what it has been like to parent while healing my own stuff with EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
