WORKSHOP FOR NZSBA MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATES WITH GUY TONELLA

“HOW THE ATTACHMENT PATTERN IS REACTIVATED IN THE FIRST MOMENTS OF THE THERAPEUTIC ENCOUNTER”

We know that attachment patterns are formed during the preverbal period of life, the time corresponding
to the origins of the structure of the Self. These attachment patterns (secure, avoidant,
ambivalent and disorganised) are also activated in the first moments of the therapeutic encounter by
the limbic, implicit, non-verbal memory.
The challenge is to make conscious our own attachment style, and to respond to the unconscious
needs that are non-verbally expressed to us by the client within an interactive, intersubjective relationship.
This one-day workshop will address these issues in an experiential way.
Guy Tonella holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Masters in Psychophysiology. He has
