Description

Kids with disorganized and chaotic attachment are the hardest kids you will work with – they are simultaneously seeking attachment and terrified of it at the same time. They act in “unlovable ways” because they truly find themselves “unlovable”. Not trusting others, they continuously strive to control others.

This prevents them from getting what they need most – healthy, safe, and secure attachments.

Join me, Dan Hughes, PhD, as I show you how to bridge the knowledge and understanding of maladaptive attachment-seeking behaviors due to a disorganized attachment pattern resulting from past trauma, abuse, and neglect.

You’ll learn how to:

Identify the behaviors consistent with disorganized attachment patterns
Engage children who resist engagements
Begin to trust adults who would teach them a new narrative
