Traumatic Attachment & Affect Dysregulation
A clinically focused training exploring the neurobiology of traumatic attachment,
affect dysregulation, traumatic transference, and somatic interventions —
with practical guidance for helping clients experience greater safety,
stability, and regulation within the therapeutic relationship.
Affect Dysregulation
Somatic Interventions
Trauma Treatment
Traumatic attachment can leave a lasting imprint on emotional regulation,
relationships, transference, and the client’s capacity to experience
therapy itself as safe.
Understand the Attachment System Behind Trauma-Related Dysregulation
Janina Fisher, Ph.D. explores traumatic attachment from a
psychobiological perspective,
connecting attachment research, neuroscience, somatic responses,
and the therapeutic relationship.
The program examines how disorganized attachment and traumatic
transference can contribute to instability in psychotherapy,
particularly when clients struggle to regulate emotional and autonomic states.
You’ll explore interventions drawn from
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
and contemporary attachment research, with emphasis on helping
the therapist become a more effective source of co-regulation.
From Dysregulation to Greater Relational Safety
Explore early attachment as a somatic experience and examine
how threat can alter attachment, arousal, and nervous-system regulation.
Understand what happens when the person who should provide
safety is simultaneously experienced as threatening.
Develop strategies for supporting regulation when trauma-related
emotional and autonomic states destabilize the therapeutic process.
Explore how the clinician can support greater relational safety,
emotional regulation, and more stable engagement in therapy.
Become a More Effective “Neurobiological Regulator”
Learn how therapist presence, curiosity, acceptance,
emotional attunement, and right-brain-to-right-brain communication
can help clients experience regulation while remaining in relationship.
Connect Attachment, Arousal & Nervous-System Regulation
When Therapy Itself Activates the Attachment System
Examine how disorganized attachment can appear inside psychotherapy
through fear of the therapist, unstable closeness and distance,
dysregulation, and traumatic transference.
Phobia of Therapy & the Therapist
Understand why attachment activation can make therapeutic closeness feel unsafe.
Dysregulation Within Psychotherapy
Recognize when the therapeutic process itself increases affective activation.
Therapist as Affect Regulator
Learn how relational regulation can help restore greater stability and safety.
Work With the Somatic Legacy of Trauma
Explore body-centered trauma interventions that integrate
cognition, emotional experience, attachment, and somatic responses.
