Training Overview
This training emphasizes the experiential approach of Julie Murphy, International Hakomi Trainer, to the theory, assessment and treatment of attachment repair. Learn how to apply mindfulness-based somatic interventions to heal clients’ early relational imprints and wounds, whether you are working directly with clients’ attachment wounds or simply helping clients to feel safe. In addition to looking at early attachment imprints and styles, the training will focus on the use of mindfulness and the therapeutic relationship as agents of change in relational repair. Adult attachment will be investigated in depth as patterns of self-organization and relational dynamics. The training emphasizes assessment tools and specific intervention strategies for accessing unconscious material and promoting relationship repair. The therapist’s individual attachment style and therapeutic stance, and the resulting influence on the transference and countertransference in the therapeutic relationship will also be examined.

Structure
The bias of this training is mindfulness based, experiential learning. Participants will learn to work experientially with clients through the mixture of short didactic lectures, discussions, self-reflective exercises and actual practice of interventions presented. Mindfulness provides a basis of investigation of self and other that facilitates the gentle exploration and transformation of deeply held unconscious beliefs and patterns of organization. Therapists will learn practical skills that will be immediately applicable to give them confidence and effectiveness in working with attachment issues and patterns in clinical practice.
