When is insecure attachment the real issue in therapy?

Psychotherapist Bruce Ecker, LMFT, interviewed by Rich Simon, editor of Psychotherapy Networker, paints a vivid picture of how therapists can determine whether attachment issues underlie a given client's problem patterns. He narrates two compelling case examples that show how the implicit "emotional learnings" driving a client's symptoms can be brought into explicit awareness through empathic, experiential methods, making the presence or absence of attachment material directly apparent in a non-theoretical and inherently accurate manner. Viewers are briefed also on how such emotional learnings undergo dissolution through memory reconsolidation---the only process known to neuroscience that can eliminate an emotional learning. What Bruce describes in this video is a sampling of the Routledge book, "Unlocking the Emotional Brain: Eliminating Symptoms at Their Roots Using Memory Reconsolidation" by Bruce Ecker, Robin Ticic and Laurel Hulley.
