WEBINAR VIDEO: INTIMACY DISORDERS and AVOIDANT ATTACHMENT

ABSTRACT
Intimacy and Intimacy Disorders — from the Lens of Avoidant Attachment
The Cornerstone of Recovery from Mental Illness and Addiction
We, as an industry, are beginning to describe intimacy disorders and Disorganized Attachment (DA).

The most accurate predictor of intimacy disorder is a history of Disorganized Attachment (DA)., which starts in infancy. This occurs when the parent the infant is needing to bond with is also an object of fear, abandonment, rejection, and pain.

Disorganized Attachment (DA). is at the root of most psychopathology and addictive disorders, since the individual is unable to turn to others as a resource for soothing and comfort and is instead perpetually left feeling alone and empty, attempting to fill the hollowness with “something,” as in working or any other external source of relief or escape, such as food, sex, gambling, alcohol, or drugs, to name a few.

The cornerstone of (DA). is the absence of a cohesive sense of self, expressed as “I don’t know who I am,” or, “I don’t know what my life is about” and “I seem to be a different person in different situations – like some kind leaf blowing in the wind.”

What are the manifestations of intimacy disorder? And what are today’s leading and most comprehensive strategies for real and sustainable repair? Why has behavior modification and symptoms management not been enough, leaving clients vulnerable to life-long relational distress and/or chronic addiction relapse?
