The Neurobiology of Attachment and How that Profoundly Impacts the Treatment of Trauma
Helping patients heal from trauma is one of the most challenging things we do. But it becomes infinitely more challenging when your patient is missing one key experience – a stable, secure relationship.
The lack of these steady, caring, attachment relationships can prolong a patient’s suffering after trauma. It can make it more difficult for your client to regulate emotions or build a trusting bond with you, so that you can help them heal.
But what is it that makes an attachment experience so profoundly protective, and how do we work with the many patients we treat who are missing these cherished relationships? To get into those issues, we created this new short course.
The course features five of the world’s top experts in the treatment of trauma. They’ll take you through the neurobiology of attachment and share their best strategies for working with a client’s attachment history to help them heal from trauma.

Here's What Your Peers Have Experienced In NICABM Programs
. . . instrumental in opening my mind and heart to understanding trauma.
“These seminars have been instrumental in opening my mind and heart to understanding trauma. They are brief and accessible and of such high quality that I’ve been able to glean real understanding and a starting point for further study. I can’t say enough about them. I have recommended them to so many of my colleagues and they say the same things I do about them. Thank you Ruth!”
Angela Lawrence, Drug and Alcohol Counselor
British Columbia, Canada
The material covered has . . . fully supported my purpose, enhancing my knowledge of the theories behind the actions taken.
“I am a soldier, who works with other soldiers and their families (The PTSD Retreat), in reference to PTSD. We, as soldiers, are all taught the very basics of PTSD, in what we call “death-by-PowerPoint,” but it never goes beyond this. Indeed, it is repeated over and over, without change, and it rarely if ever gets to the families. The material covered in here has fully supported my purpose, enhancing my knowledge of the theories behind the actions taken. I am so grateful to have been able to follow this series and look forward to furthering my education with this entity. Thank you”
D. Nicole Johnson, Drug and Alcohol Counselor
Starr Founder, The PTSD Retreat
. . . very cost effective and practical . . .
“These programs offer a broad spectrum of both information and specific guidelines with top experts in different fields of addressing human suffering. All in a very cost effective and practical way. Rather than thousands of dollars spent on the cost of conference I can learn in the comfort of my own home or office, on my own schedule. Certainly recommend any of these series to my colleagues.”
Ian Macnaughton, PhD, Psychotherapist
Vancouver, BC, Canada
My clients have been able to build their confidence. . .
“My clients have been able to build their confidence in their ability to self-regulate on their own in pretty difficult situations, including work and family of origin situations. Their success has then built their self-esteem as they can see that they can be successful in changing some fairly habitual ways of interacting and hurting themselves. It is a positive cycle that builds upon itself”
Nancy Lasater, MSW, LCSW
Boulder, CO

- You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
