Attachment Narrative Life Story Work©

 

This work seeks to help the young person understand their life story and how past events and traumas are impacting on their feelings, thoughts, body states and behaviours in the present, and enable them to foster healthier attachments. This work is usually done with the parent/carer present, so that they can support and inform the session.

 

Attachment Narrative Life Story Work©️combines principles from Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, attachment theory, narrative therapy, Family Future’s Therapeutic Life Story and Richard Rose’s Therapeutic Life Story Work. 

 

An important part of the therapeutic process is parent/carer only sessions, to give them space to be supported, to share insight into their child and to think about therapeutic parenting approaches, calling on the PACE Model, Great Behaviour Breakdown and Non-Violence Resistance approaches. 

 

This process is tailored to the needs of each young person and their family and is a fluid process to be able to meet specific needs that are presented.
