Looking at the core schemas of disorganized attachment:
- mistrust & abuse
- subjugation
- punitiveness

Looking at the tumultuous structure changing or switching between self-states that is coming within disorganized attachment from a parts work perspective (schema modes).

- safety grounding embodiment exercises
- to combat depersonalization and derealization symptoms (DPDR)
- creation of perfect nurturers with emphasize on their ability to protect you
- agency / self-efficacy as counterbalanced to fear and lack of safety
- SRM on mistrust and abuse schemas
- recognising all the schemas listed above
- getting comfortable with healthy touch / identifying healthy touch
- Recognizing our fearful and aggressive parts as adaptive responses to an unsafe environment and now, in the present, as adults giving those parts a “lived, emotionally corrective experience” of safety and protection
This meditation course draws on:
- Attachment Theory (Bowlby, Ainsworth, et al)
- Ideal Parent Figure Protocol (Brown, et al)
- Inner Child Work (Bradshaw, et al)
- Schema Therapy (Young, et al)
- Coherence Therapy (Ecker, et al)
- Mentalization-Based Treatment (Fonagy, et al)
- Metacognitive Therapy (DiMaggio, et al.)
- Buddhist Visualization Practices
- Mindfulness Practice

We also draw on Ideal Parent Figure Protocol, developed by Dan Brown, which has been found to be effective for moving people with insecure attachment to secure attachment after repeated sessions, as well as Chairwork (Moreno, Perls, Kellogg).
