Exploring Attachment: The Foundation of Our Relational Lives

The pervasiveness and effects of trauma are well represented in many helping and scientific professions. In fact, these professions are currently expected to be ‘trauma-informed.’ What is under-represented and more foundational to the emotional health of individuals, families, and communities is the quality of our early, original attachment. This bond provides the blueprint for all relationships, thus uniquely guiding how we love, lead, parent, and work.

Through decades of attachment research, thousands of client case studies, and direct personal experience, Duey Freeman presents an updated and practical attachment model that supports understanding and healing from such wounding. By exploring the origins of issues such as addiction, eating disorders, and domestic violence as attachment issues, we can offer a path forward, creating safety and belonging. Becoming ‘Attachment Informed’ is essential to understanding and supporting all relationships.
