I
seek to collaborate with you in exploring these patterns, fostering increased understanding, and choosing the right path to improved well-being.

“Resolving core family conflict and past traumas, and strengthening adolescent attachment to and trust in parents, can decrease depression in adolescents.”
Guy Diamond – ABFT
“We believe in experiential change, that people in the room could have an experience of each other, a more positive experience that could actually affect the way they think about themselves.”
Guy Diamond – ABFT
And we really start them out by having the adolescent turn to the parent and start talking about why it’s difficult for them to go the parent. As the therapist, I’m looking to see how is each person reacting, and I’m in it with them, I’m going to let conversation go on when its going well, but I’m also really making an attempt to make this conversation go different.”
Suzanne Levy – ABFT
“I might prompt parents to the type of questions they should ask, and this whole time I am having this conservation go between the parents and kid, I want to be out of it, I don’t want them talking to me because that is going to decrease emotionality.”
Suzanne Levy – ABFT

“Insecurity in attachment relationships is a signal of limitation in mentalizing skills.”
Peter Fonagy – MBT
“Mentalization is intrinsically linked to the development of the self, to its gradually elaborated inner organization, and to its participation in human society, a network of human relationships with other beings who share this unique capacity.”
Peter Fonagy – MBT

Brown & Elliott
“The majority of empirically supported interventions for PTSD focus on recollection and elaboration of the autobiographical trauma memories. However, this intervention alone has not been found to consistently resolve PTSD… such interventions are not fully effective because they do not adequately address the representations of trauma in the implicit memory system.”
Louis Damis – Clinical Hypnosis
The application of the repeated imagery of ideal parent figures, imagery of secure attachment interactions allows the implicit memory system to internalize new internal working models, or remap them.”
Louis Damis – Clinical Hypnosis
"The feelings and emotions that we have, and that patients come into therapy for, often started in childhood and do not usually change without therapy."
