IAT Foundations In-Person LA
Get guidance and consultation using real client material.
In this workshop we refine skills and practices developed in Levels 1 and 2 over the course of two days working with real client material.
Explore TrainingBring your clinical case transcripts or recordings for real-practice IAT consultation and guidance.
During the Level 3 training, we spend two days working with real client material. We ask that students bring in a therapy session transcription or recording, de-identified, and with these cases we highlight the IAT skills application to each of the attachment disturbance patterns: dismissing, anxious-preoccupied, disorganized and unresolved.
This workshop completes the three core levels of training in IAT, and together with several additional group and individual supervision sessions, qualifies you for certification as an IAT therapist.
