PRESENTATION SUMMARY:

Research shows our brains are hard wired to connect with others from birth and throughout our lives. Relationship strategies learned in pre-verbal infancy persist into adulthood, impacting how people relate to others and how they react to stress and conflict. In this workshop we will discuss the behaviors that result from those early relationships by exploring attachment theory and the human Social Engagement System. While these terms may seem complicated, they can provide a simple and robust way of identifying a person’s preferred relational style (two primary styles). We will provide relevant techniques from relational and neurobiological science and theory for improving mediator effectiveness.
