🇪🇸 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 Affect Regulation Theory, with Daniel Hill PhD
This seminar examines our two systems for regulating affect: a primary, early developing system in which the processes are unconscious and automatic and a secondary, later developing one in which the processes are conscious and deliberate. Both systems develop in the attachment relationship. Secure attachment results in the optimal capacity to regulate affect. Insecure attachment, the result of early relational trauma, results in deficits in regulatory capacities. Such deficits result in chronic dissociation at low levels of stress, pervasive shame and personality disorders. Treatment of the capacity to regulate affect occurs in the implicit therapeutic relationship mediated by non-verbal expressions of affect.
