Treating Attachment Disruptions in Adults With David Elliott
Show Notes
We knew we had to interview Dr. Elliott upon finding his book, Attachment Disturbances in Adults, Treatment for Comprehensive Repair(2016). It immediately became Sue’s current favorite read and that is saying a lot!
We cover quite a lot in this podcast, especially about treatment, but if that still isn’t enough, these show notes are PACKED with PDF’s of great material offered by Dr. Elliott! Below you will find 4 full PDF handouts about the salient ideas of their synthesis of treatment for adults with attachment disruptions.
In today’s episode you will hear about why attachment matters, background thoughts on insecurity and prevalence, brand new (to the US) and updated attachment research and then we mostly focus on how to apply all this knowledge with clients with attachment issues, and ourselves.
Dr. Elliott introduces our audience to the 3 Pillars of Comprehensive Treatment: Ideal Parent Protocol, Metacognition and Fostering Collaborative Capacity. While he touches on them all, please download the 4 PDF attachments provided below, and start by reviewing the Overview. If for any reason you have trouble getting them, contact us and we will shoot them over to you!

@42:14
The five components for secure attachment style:
1. Felt sense of safety - parent is consistently protective
2. Feel seen & known - parent is attuned and is aware/curious of the child’s internal state
3. Feel comfort - parent offers consistency soothing & reassurance
4. Feels valued as she/he is - parent consistently expresses delight by who the child is (not what they do)
5. Feels supported for exploration & self discovery - parent encourages exploration & expresses interest in the child’s inner world

Good stuff I've listened to 5-or-so of your podcasts. They ARE very important, and were to me...Sadly..as both a therapist (sidelined by the complexity of "this")and patient. the "reality" of healing: of co-parenting, trusting the therapist, grieving the costs of attachment trauma, of creating a "true self" in relation to this committed and com passionate therapist, a person needs much of what was always elusive-support, and, because of the nature of abuse of all forms not sexual, my livelihood is in dire straits, thus making unaffordable, the extensive treatment required. Whew...needed to get some of that off my chest. No harm, and keep up the great work.

I find it so difficult think about myself and for myself.

[@surfside16]

Do you use EMDR or EDI for RAD.

David is great, but the interviewer wants to show off too much of her knowledge instead of really listening to his point
