Attachment Healing Masterclass: When Disconnection and Conflict Drive Families and Couples Apart (RV)

Overview:

This 6-hour intensive training equips mental health professionals with Attachment Communication Training (ACT)—a structured, directive approach for improving communication and fostering secure attachment in couples, families, and parent-child relationships. Discover how communication specialists interrupt negative interaction cycles that create disconnection, conflict, and destructive relational patterns, and help clients establish healthier communication that builds empathy and relational security.

Learn the practical ACT framework including sharing and listening guidelines, skill-based contracts, the Life Script intervention, and experiential exercises that develop constructive problem-solving and mutual understanding. Gain clinical skills through multimedia demonstrations, video examples, and interactive practice that prepare you to implement ACT immediately with dyads experiencing communication breakdowns, attachment disruption, and chronic conflict.
Designed for licensed mental health professionals seeking to elevate their clinical effectiveness with couples, families, and parent-child dyads through immediately applicable, attachment-based communication interventions that create secure connection and reduce relational distress.

Objectives:

  • Describe the guidelines of sharing and listening in Attachment Communication Training (ACT).
  • Differentiate therapist-centered from relationship-based approaches to communication training.
  • List specific contracts established prior to initiating ACT sessions with clients.
  • Discuss the purpose and use of the Life Script intervention in ACT practice.
  • Explain the experiential nature of ACT including goals, methods, and clinical applications.
  • Apply ACT strategies to interrupt negative cycles and establish healthier communication patterns in dyads.
