The Adult Attachment Program Podcast

By: Dr. Zack Bein
  • Summary

  • How do we use evidence-based findings in the field of adult attachment to our benefit? Once we become aware of our attachment style, then what do we do? Can they change? Am I going to be this way forever? How do I connect with another human in a vulnerable way without feeling unsafe? How do I convince myself that my needs are just as important as everyone else's? Why is it so hard to live in alignment with my own most important values? Am I always going to feel alone? Secure attachment is just a myth, isn't it? How can anyone feel safe and secure in the world today?

  • The Use of Play in Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) Imagery
    May 22 2024

    **While unlikely, due to the relatively innocuous subject, there still remains a small chance of being triggered simply by imagining oneself as a child. If you have severe attachment disturbance, only do this with a professional present**


    When we play, as children, we are expressing ourselves. We have yet to cultivate the skill to articulate our nuanced selves to the world, yet it is crucial for the development of attachment security. In this exercise, Dr. Zack uses the concept of an "ideal play place" to co-create a number of secure scenarios in the play context. Patients report having an easier time exploring in their lives as adults as a result of this particular practice. Hobbies, interests, jobs, people... your one precious life in this one precious moment..... is you new ideal play place. Imagine that.
