YOUR CLIENTS NEED HELP NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE

I know attachment theory…but how do I apply it when I’m working with clients?

As a professional, you’re in a unique relationship with your clients. 

Who else has an intimate, front row seat to the mental and emotional challenges of so many people on a weekly basis?

Few of us expect the work to be easy. While each healing journey can be difficult—just as often—it can be life-changing, powerful and affirmative.

But you need more than theory to get to the root of unresolved trauma and help yourself and others heal attachment wounds more effectively. 

You must be able to apply concrete skills, interventions and strategies into therapeutic sessions—a ‘system’ that addresses trauma and supports your own well-being…no matter how challenging a case may be.

  • Quickly identify the relationship or coping patterns that underlie the dynamics of a person’s emotional difficulties.
  • Discover interventions, skills and exercises you can tailor to help break decades-old patterns.
  • Recognize your own attachment style and reactions, so you can be more attuned, compassionate and empathetic to clients.
  • Integrate training that’s highly applicable to both your personal and professional life.

TRANSFORM LIVES & HEAL THE WORLD

"As we grow out of our wounded self and become a more securely attached, resilient being, we can foster the same process in others, becoming intimacy initiators and connection coaches for our families, friends and the larger world.”

DR. DIANE POOLE HELLER

Founder of Trauma Solutions & originator of DARe (Dynamic Attachment Repatterning experience)
“Dr. Poole Heller weaves together insights from attachment research, neurobiology and life experience to provide easy-to-use tools to connect more deeply to others and heal our hearts and minds in the process.”

DR. RONALD D. SIEGEL, PSYD

Assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School and author of The Mindfulness Solution: Everyday Practices for Everyday Problems
“We blame ourselves or our partners when intimacy goes south without awareness of the unconscious relationship template that organizes these failures. With clear illustrations and practical exercises, Dr. Diane Poole Heller helps you understand and change this powerful inner operating system that came from your childhood attachment history.”

RICHARD SCHWARTZ, PHDR

Founder of the Internal Family Systems method and author of You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For
“Diane’s warm and optimistic voice continually empowers us to reassess and strengthen our capacity for secure attachments and to heal relational wounds. Powerful creative exercises, guided imagery and concrete strategies help us be more internally resourced while deepening our ability to forge secure relationships through repair, empathy, corrective experiences and compassion.”

LISA FERENTZ, LCSW-C, DAPA

Author of Finding Your Ruby Slippers: Transformative Life Lessons from the Therapist’s Couch
“Attachment not only describes how we contact and connect with others, but also with ourselves and with our bodies. That is why understanding how trauma impacts our tissues and our nervous systems, and thereby our sense of safety, is so vitally critical to navigating the complexities of our attachment patterns.”

PETER LEVINE, PHD

THE POWER OF ATTACHMENT WORK

  • Gain Self-Awareness

    When we move toward secure attachment, we become more compassionate toward ourselves and others. With greater awareness, we can recognize patterns and make intentional decisions and healthier choices.

  • Break Unhealthy Patterns

    Attachment tools help us see unhealthy behaviors in the context they were created—knowledge that gives us hope and sets us on a healing path as we learn new and rewarding ways of relating to ourselves and others.

  • Heal, Reconnect & Thrive

    When we experience trauma or relational wounding, we can feel utterly disconnected and isolated. The good news is, this work strengthens our innate capacity to heal, reconnect and thrive!

HEALING BEGINS WITH YOU

Why do we experience recurring struggles in our relationships? And why do traumatic events so often initiate or amplify our sense of fear, anger, isolation or helplessness?

From our earliest years, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, influencing our patterns of behavior and intimate relationships. 

And traumatic events can deeply affect that core relational blueprint. The good news is that, when we become aware of these patterns and the context in which they first developed, we can also learn how to heal and move towards secure attachment.

As our nervous system learns how to be more regulated and traumatic events don’t throw us off as easily, we also open our capacity to love and experience greater compassion. 

And more than anything, my enduring wish is that we learn to love better, to love more freely—and to receive the same from others. 

For me, that’s what attachment work is all about…I truly believe that everyone deserves the love and connection that is your birthright. 

Deep down, all of us are designed for intimacy, connection, awareness and love. That’s the beauty and hope of healing your attachment wounds.

I do hope you’ll join me in this ‘relationship revolution,’ where we support each other in creating a foundation of safety, adaptability and intimacy with each other.

OUR SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

“I’m an SE practitioner. A lot of times, when we’re working with trauma, there is something underneath the trauma. So we can go to the trauma, and we can go underneath it and re-negotiate that trauma much more profoundly. Attachment work gives us this very thorough, deep and profound way of helping someone transform whatever trauma they might be carrying.”
JULIE MANWILLERSeattle, WA
“I do believe that anyone can actually become a better person with this type of training. Understanding how we build relationships…how we work through them…and how we navigate them is quite important. Diane does a great job, not only outlining the adaptations, but showing us how to put skills into practice—so that we not only understand each other, but are able to connect and make better communication a possibility.”
ERIKA FAETHCosta Rica
“I think it’s important, when I talk about why I took this training, to mention that I’m not a therapist or in the healthcare provider world. It was amazing what I learned and how I can use it in my own life. It also helps me look at how I can use it in my business life. I lead a team of salespeople and I've already started interacting with my team differently based on what I learned.”
