ATTACHMENT, CREATIVITY AND ADDICTIONS
A dynamic approach to working with attachment hunger and complicated grief in addiction.
Explore 7 experiential lessons to help therapists and practitioners guide their clients towards more personal empowerment with fun, creative approaches.
The following self-study course is available for 10.75 continuing education contact hours for Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCATs) and Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) in New York State. Download the information page here.
We Will Explore...
In this course, we will explore the concept of "attachment hunger," and how this is the root of many addictions, including both ingestive (food, drugs, alcohol) and non-ingestive addictions (hoarding, sex addiction, love addiction, workaholism, gaming addictions, etc.).
Much of the material discussed is derived from Ms. MacWilliam's first edited and contributed volume, Complicated Grief, Attachment and Art Therapy: Theory, Treatment and 14 Ready-to-Use Protocols, currently available on Amazon.
The Benefits of This Course...
Building Trust and Rapport: Learn to overcome the barriers of mistrust and defensiveness often found in clients struggling with addiction.
Managing Relapse and Setbacks: Gain skills to effectively support clients through the cyclical nature of addiction, balancing empathy with accountability.
Dealing with Denial: Apply creative techniques to evolve past denial, fostering an open and honest therapeutic environment.
Families and Addiction: Explore the impact of familial dynamics on addiction and strategies for involving family in the healing process.
Change Models and Mindfulness in Art Therapy: Discover how to incorporate mindfulness and art therapy in fostering change and addressing addiction.
