Engaging Men in Attachment-Focused Therapy: Exploring the Neurobiology of Sex Differences
an AEDP Workshop at Psychotherapy Networker Symposium 2016, in Washington, DC
with Diana Fosha, PhD
Far fewer men than women are making use of psychotherapy, even though the rate of serious problems among men—such as alcoholism, ADHD, and suicidality—are far higher. One reason is that basic therapeutic practices are more congruent with women’s ways of engaging than with men’s. Making use of clinical videotapes, this workshop will show you how to work with men’s attachment trauma and intense emotions, and simultaneously undo the shame men often feel about being in therapy.
You’ll Learn To:
- Use gender-specific, attachment-based interventions to engage men more fully in the therapeutic process
- Incorporate the practice of dyadic mindfulness to consolidate therapeutic gains, foster resilience, and deepen the experience of feeling seen, felt, and understood
- Apply meta-therapeutic processing to help men explore their experience in the moment, especially when positive change occurs, in ways that can feel empowering
