Course Details
Deirdre Fay works with people who have crummy histories to develop an
inner platform for success to get their needs met for life. With decades of
experience as a psychotherapist and educator, Deirdre brings together modern
neurobiology and ancient wisdom into a practice of what she calls “becoming
safely embodied.”
Deirdre’s message resonates deeply with those who may look successful onthe surface, but internally they may be plagued with shame, anxiety, distress, depression, and they’re wondering why they’re stuck in these repeating patterns. Experts in the field have described her practical methods as a “radically positive approach to healing trauma” and a way for people to “get better faster.”
Content Description:
Repatterning the Internal Working Model (Bowlby) of our attachment patterns is easy to understand but more complicated to implement to have different relationships later in life. Research indicates that 77% of our early imprinted attachment patterns continue throughout our lives – unless there is intervention.
There are four steps that provide change in attachment patterns, generating and embodying a Solid, Secure, Steady Self.
Education Goals:
- Recognize the many layered imprints that occur before prefrontal cortex is developed
- Identify various attachment protest(s) that can be used for changing patterns
- Reorganize the granular components
- Generate and reconstruct components into more nourishing pattern
