The Power of Imagination in Attachment Disorders

Treatment for attachment disorders is treating the trauma but you don't go into the content of the trauma. So if somebody has disorganized attachment what it means is it's an impossible dilemma for the child that means the source of attachment is also the source of fear. By having them imagine getting all the right things over and over again they develop a positive stable new internal working model for attachment. The disorganized or inconsistent models internal working models for attachment become irrelevant. They stop operating out of them and they operate out of this new positive model.
