Description

This workshop is offering the Generative Attachment Model (GAM) as a 7-step process for working with disorganized attachment style while holding clients with C-PTSD. The intention of GAM is to create a base for more secure attachment to be formed through embodied and relational being. The change in GAM occurs from the experience of connection being received, processed, and digested. GAM offers a generative attachment curve as a way to approach the tension between needing connection and not being able to receive it. Clients are supported in building the capacity to be, know their need, and be able to receive holding, with further transition to developing a balance between co-regulation and self-regulation. The workshop will be supported for practitioners, therapists, and social workers who embrace an attachment lens in C-PTSD support.

Yulia Abramova, MA

Yulia entered psychological filed being 13 years old, when her school teacher offered her books of Boulby, Winnicot and Kernberg. Something clicked, as her own trauma history started to make sense. By 21 Yulia completed her MA in clinical psychology, as well as became an international trainer of Neuro-linguistic programming. Eager to connect her love for movement and body exploration tother with history of developmental trauma and clinical knowledge, Yulia made a deep dive into somatic approaches of working with developmental trauma. Holding her own individual practice, as well as training emerging clinicians in the Institute of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Yulia together with 2 colleagues have developed and taught “Healing trauma program”.  Having her own experience living with C-PTSD, Yulia continues to find ways to support people out of experience of isolation towards capacity to receive connection.
