Working With Disorganized Attachment and Complex Relational Dynamics Through the Generative Attachment Model

Clients may present with fear, mistrust, and other avoidant patterns while intensely seeking connection and support, leading to conflicting behaviors in the therapeutic space. Using the Generative Attachment Model (GAM), Yulia Abramova, AMFT, APCC, will explore how to engage clients who actively resist connection and support.

GAM is a 7-Step process for creating a baseline for secure attachment through embodied and relational being.

This workshop is designed for clinicians to explore complex-PTSD (C-PTSD) through an attachment-based lens while employing process-oriented approaches.

Learning objectives:

  1. Identify common relational dynamics that clients with C-PTSD and disorganized attachment may present with
  2. Explore transference and countertransference in the therapeutic relationship
  3. Incorporate embodied enactments to support clients with attachment trauma

Yulia Abramova, MA, AMFT, APCC

Yulia Abramova entered the psychological field 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 from Moscow State University as well as became an international trainer of Neuro-linguistic programming. Eager to connect her love for movement and body exploration with the 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 (Moscow, RF), 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.
