This workshop is directed at exploring the link between trauma, attachment, and addictions. From sexual addictions to alcohol and drug addictions, we will look at how trauma and damage to attachment patterns play out and how to move into recovery in a safe and healthy way. We will focus heavily on the role played by shame and the shame cycle and how to determine what treatment modalities are most effective depending on level and type of addiction. Methods for assessment of addiction and comorbid mental health concerns will also be covered.
