Healing Attachment Holistically Summit 2024

Attachment wounds and developmental trauma are often the root cause of many mental health problems, including: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, BPD, and addiction.

Understanding attachment dynamics is therefore vital for anyone working in the helping professions today.

The 2024 Holistic Attachment Summit will explore the most essential ideas in attachment theory, research, and how they can be applied to create deep and lasting healing for clients — enabling you to be at the forefront of evidence-based care.

Why Attend the Holistic Attachment Summit 2024

The most important variable in mental health is attachment. This is the one thing that if we get right, makes everything else easier.

And the thing that if we get wrong (or neglect,) leads to a whole cascade of negative outcomes.

Attachment issues are often what drive people to therapy in the first place.

And although they might not be conscious of it, most therapists—who are doing their job right—are helping their clients to build secure attachment bonds. You could even make the case that all psychotherapies are essentially “technologies” for helping individuals develop internal secure attachment, so that they can heal the ruptures sustained in early life and begin flourishing in their relationships in the present.

This includes:

• Their relationship with themselves.
• Their relationships with others.
• And their relationship with something higher (nature, purpose, spirituality, etc).

We’re not talking out of thin air here either…

Research shows that secure attachment is linked with increased resilience, greater happiness, and stronger personal relationships. It also shows that insecure attachment increases your vulnerability to a whole host of negative outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.

Importantly, studies have also found that attachment patterns are passed on from generation to generation. This means that if you are able to reshape your attachment patterns in the present, not only are you healing your own wounds, but also those of your parents and ancestors, as well as those of the children and descendants that will follow you.

In other words, by transforming your own inner world, you have the potential to be the person who disrupts a long line of suffering — and be the person responsible for creating a greater sense of peace, harmony, and an improved quality of life for the generations that follow you.

During the Holistic Attachment Summit, 30 of the world’s leading pioneers in therapeutic practice will be exploring the most essential ideas in attachment theory, research, and their clinical applications.
