Episode notes
Treating Attachment, Not Trauma
- Traditional trauma treatment is ineffective for disorganized attachment.
- Treating the attachment disturbance itself, rather than the trauma content, leads to better outcomes.

- Use "ideal parent figures" to help patients develop secure attachment.
- Imagining a different upbringing creates new possibilities and a positive internal working model.

- Research shows patients with personality or dissociative disorders often lack this capacity.
