| Extra Info | : | Online Clinical Forum with Tori Settle The emotional availability of the mother to her infant is considered to be a cornerstone for the baby’s capacity to develop a secure attachment, and this process is paralleled in attachment-based psychotherapy when we are working with our clients. To what extent do we offer ourselves as emotionally available parental figures when we are working clinically, and what does this look like? I’d like to explore with you, on the one hand, the tensions or complications that may arise from making ourselves available and on the other, the benefits and potential for connection and growth. From experience, the kinds of emotional availability that I might offer to my clients differs widely, and I’m interested in talking with you about how those differences might be linked to different attachment patterns and in what ways they contribute (or not) to the building and maintenance of a secure base. As part of the discussion, I’d also like to include linked areas around neutrality, the sharing of countertransference, and the complexity of boundary holding. |
