Discover how to combine the theories of great masters and learn to transform metaphors into powerful tools for healing!
This course is a unique opportunity for psychotherapists to deeply understand attachment dynamics and how these wounds can be addressed in clinical practice. By combining the foundations of Psychodrama, Attachment Theory, and EMDR Therapy, this course provides both theoretical insights and practical tools to reprocess trauma and promote emotional healing. Metaphors are introduced as powerful resources for accessing and treating the deepest emotional pain clients carry.
Here are some examples of common issues that you, as a psychotherapist, will be able to address more easily:
Dysfunctional attachments and impaired bonding
"No one ever stayed by my side when I needed them."
Clients struggling with rejection or abandonment may develop dysfunctional attachment patterns that affect future relationships.
Distorted self-image stemming from childhood experiences
"I am impossible to love."
Feelings of inadequacy rooted in early life can lead to low self-esteem and emotional crises that require careful reprocessing.
Trauma that prevents healthy relationships in the present
"My relationships always end in disaster."
Old wounds often result in dysfunctional patterns that make it difficult to build or maintain stable connections with others.
And much more!
