Layering the Parfait: An Approach to Attachment

Dr. Lovett's workshop will focus on practical treatment approaches for
attachment issues. She will introduce the concept of "layering the parfait"
and developing healthy inner-parents for adults and children. The
presentation will include experiential learning, case studies, and videos
demonstrating EMDR-facilitated critical incident reprocessing, storytelling,
and imagination exercises for children and adults as they resolve attachment
issues. Participants will learn positive cognitions applicable to work with
children and adults with attachment issues.
