A monthly consultation group from the attachment-trauma lens. Participants will have the opportunity to present cases as well as observe consultation of other participants' cases over a period of 8 months. Dafna’s perspective is based on 20 years of experience practicing two attachment-based therapies: Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. Both modalities focus on the physiologic, nonverbal connection between parent and child to improve the relationship.
The focus will be on how to facilitate regulation, connection, and joy between parents and children as well as guide parents to do reparative work around family trauma. This consultation groups will help you to:

Q: Why should I join this consultation group?
A: Besides the fact that this will help you sleep better at night knowing that you have a coherent plan for your toughest cases (!), you will learn how to practice attachment-based family therapy in the most effective way: by doing it. Rather than only having attachment theory inform your practice intellectually, you will learn actual attachment-based skills and techniques to turn theory into practice.
Q: Do I have to present a video in order to get consultation on a case?
A: No, you can just present orally. You can even do a live role play on Zoom if you are feeling courageous.
Q: What if I can’t fill a whole hour of my supervision time?
A: This rarely happens! But if you run out of questions, we will turn to the group for their questions/comments.
Q: What kind of technology will I need?
A: The supervision will be done through Zoom, which is an online conference program. You will need a webcam and microphone, a stable internet connection and your video on your computer (if you have video).
Q: What if I signed up for a date but had to cancel at the last minute? Can I join another date?
A: You can always join another supervision date as an observer, however you will most likely lose the your designated presentation slot (unless someone else happens to cancel on the session you join)
Q: Will this count towards DDP or Theraplay certification?
A: No. There is a separate process for becoming certified in each of these modalities. While Dafna is an official certified supervisor/consultant in theTherapy and DDP, this consultation group has a more integrative focus.
