SEPTEMBER 3 25: Attachment Theory and Trauma Healing

This Call2Parent Fellow Traveler podcast features Dr. Diane Poole Heller, a psychotherapist and internationally recognized expert on attachment and trauma, discussing the profound impact of early attachment patterns on adult relationships and mental health. Dr. Heller explores the four primary attachment styles—secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized—explaining how each develops in childhood and manifests in adult life. She provides practical strategies for identifying and healing attachment wounds, emphasizing that the attachment system is remarkably forgiving and responsive to intentional healing work. The conversation covers her DARE (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning Experience) approach, which integrates somatic experiencing, neurobiology, and relational work to help individuals move toward earned secure attachment. Dr. Heller shares specific techniques for working with different attachment styles in relationships, including how to support partners through emotional overwhelm, create safety in connection, and use neuroplasticity to rewire traumatic patterns. The session concludes with a live Q&A where participants explore personal healing journeys, grief, narcissistic abuse recovery, and practical application of attachment-informed therapy.
