Attachment Theory:
Why it is important to consider…
“This session is on Attachment Theory, this can often bring up difficult feelings for us as we have all been parented and some of us might be parents, but it is not about blaming but explaining and creating an understanding. This again is for non-therapists and is aimed at helping us to hold in mind how attachment might show up in our work.” - Dr Cheryl Bullion
