The Mind-Body Attunement Therapy® Diploma addresses the more complex attachment traumas as evident in personality disorders, dissociation and countertransference which often arise following disorganised attachments. Students will learn to intervene with attachment traumas arising from Loss, Neglect, Abuse and Shame. Interventions taught include working with transference, mindfulness and the felt sense. Interventions tailored to the circumstances presented by the client, such as slowing down the pace, emphasising a non-threatening therapeutic relationship, increasing the amount of repetition and practice, all contribute to expanding the Window of Tolerance.

The Mind-Body Attunement Therapy® Diploma focuses on interventions dealing with attachment dysregulation arising from Loss, Neglect, Shame and Abuse. The curriculum includes:

• Challenges to stabilization in complex trauma and dissociative disorder clients and how to address these challenges
• Increasing the client's capacity for mindfulness and emotional regulation
• Working with the body with body-phobic clients
• Becoming a neurobiological regulator: using mind-body attunement and interactive regulatory techniques
• The challenges presented by clients who are either hyperactive or cannot act
• Overcoming traumatic reactions through the practice of new actions
• Working with orienting and defensive responses in dissociative and dysregulated patients
• Resolving inner conflicts that impede healthy boundaries and defenses
• Approaches to working with memory with clients who cannot regulate arousal sufficiently to sequence or to process daily experience
