“So much of our healing lies in our ability to come home to ourselves.” – Lisa Dion
In this episode, Lisa is joined by Mili Shoemaker, a Synergetic Play Therapy supervisor trainer, long-time consultant, and dear friend. Together, they dive into one of the most foundational concepts in Synergetic Play Therapy: attachment to self.
Join Lisa and Mili as they explore:
- How attachment to self differs from traditional attachment theories.
- Why moments of mindful awareness are key to healing and integration.
- The connection between attachment styles, perception, and self-regulation.
- Practical ways therapists can foster attachment to self within themselves and their clients.
- Personal stories and reflections on the profound impact of this concept in therapy and beyond.
Lisa also shares actionable insights, including a reflective exercise to observe and strengthen your connection to self throughout your week.
Whether you’re a therapist, a parent, or someone curious about deepening your self-awareness, this episode is packed with transformative insights.
Grab a notebook, and tune in to learn why attachment to self is not only the cornerstone of healing but also the foundation for developing secure relationships with others.
