Natalie Larson Season 2 Episode 1

Keep connected! Let me know if there is anything you need support with!

In this episode of The Art of Attachment, we explore ambivalent attachment and its connection to trauma. Learn how early relational experiences shape this attachment style and discover strategies for creating safety, trust, and connection in caregiving and therapeutic relationships. We'll dive into creative, trauma-informed activities for parents, children, and therapists and discuss how Theraplay's structure, engagement, nurture, and challenge dimensions can support healing. Join us as we uncover practical ways to foster secure attachment and resilience in children. "Connection matters, every single day. So stay connected!"
