Description

What is the relationship between sex and attachment? Are these biological systems distinct, or do they overlap? And are they synergetic or opposing forces? 

These are pivotal questions, as many common psychotherapy presentations and human predicaments are deeply intertwined with them. In this workshop, we will explore the insights that attachment theory, neurobiology, and the neuroscience of attachment might provide.  

While this workshop is grounded in research on attachment and neuroscience, I will ensure that the material is accessible to anyone interested in these topics, regardless of their prior knowledge of attachment theory, neuroscience, or biology. 

Finally, I will equip you with a practical toolbox for addressing these issues in therapy, alongside references and supplementary materials for further exploration.
