NEW! Join Dr. Terry Levy for…

Experiential Interventions for Healing Trauma & Attachment

Gain practical, in-session methods to assess attachment and trauma, create corrective emotional experiences, and coach lasting repair in individuals, couples, and families.

Includes 6 live calls with lectures, demos, and optional small group breakout sessions!

Have you worked with a client in crisis — and even as understanding grows, progress won’t stick?

Too many clients arrive only when they’re at a breaking point.

When unresolved attachment wounds get activated, communication fractures. We see protest and distance, pursuit and withdrawal, shutdown and escalation in homes, families, and workplaces.

By the time clients arrive, they can describe the pattern but can’t shift it. Insight is present, but change is not. Without new experiences of safety and repair, survival habits harden into “that’s just how I am.”

No matter how long you’ve been in practice, trauma therapy is challenging work. It demands skill, patience, and deep care.

A client’s delicate nervous system, ingrained strategies, and past experience often surface in real time. When intensity rises, early learning takes over, and talking rarely creates lasting change.

Many of us were trained in excellent theory, but not given a practical, repeatable way to turn that knowledge into felt safety and corrective emotional experiences in the room.

What if you could use attachment science to help clients heal trauma and restore intimacy?

• Attachment gives you a map for why people get stuck and methods that move sessions from talk to change.

• Change happens in relationships: safe, guided experiences of attunement and repair are what update the nervous system.

• With clear structures, clients can try something new—within themselves and with others—feel it land, and repeat it in daily life.

• These skills translate across individual, couple, family, and group work, and integrate with IFS, EMDR, CBT, and SE.

Bottom line: human relationships are complex, but with the right structures and experiential tools, clients can get far more out of therapy as they move toward secure connection.

“Psychotherapy focuses on changing brain structure and function rewiring the limbic brain as well as mental, emotional, and social change.”

– Dr. Terry Levy

To help clients form secure attachment, we must…

Create immediate felt safety and attunement.
Track moment-to-moment shifts; use pacing, voice, and posture so risk-taking feels safe in the room.
Use structured, experiential methods.
Apply tools like the Life Script, First-Year Attachment Cycle, Inner Child work, Psychodramatic Reenactment, and ACT to move from talk to change.
Coach clear requests, boundaries, and repair.
Provide step-by-step language and sequences clients can practice between sessions—in everyday interactions at home, work, and community.

Align with the nervous system.
Leverage attachment science and neuroplasticity so corrective emotional experiences “stick” beyond session.
See the pattern in real time.
Identify anxious, avoidant, and disorganized strategies as they emerge and choose targeted interventions for each person or system.
Model a secure therapeutic stance.
Stay regulated, present, and compassionate while guiding high-intensity moments, modeling the safety and steadiness clients can internalize.

The next 6-month topic in our annual membership series:

Experiential Interventions for Healing Trauma & Attachment

Featuring Dr. Terry Levy, a master clinician with decades of experience in attachment, trauma, and experiential therapy, offering clear, practical methods that help clients heal at the source and build secure connection.

Dr. Levy brings a structured, experiential approach grounded in attachment science and clinical application, providing a hands-on training experience designed to translate insight into lasting change.

Here’s What We’ll Cover In The Next 6 Months

Includes a skills-forward training with live teaching, clinical demonstrations, structured exercises, optional small group breakout sessions, and Q&A—so you can integrate each method into practice right away and improve outcomes with individuals, couples, and families.

Together, they’ll guide you through a comprehensive, experiential journey—from assessing attachment and trauma patterns to creating corrective emotional experiences that foster safety, resilience, and secure connection in the therapeutic relationship.

All live sessions meet online for 2-hours on Tuesdays at 1 pm ET / 12 pm CT / 11 am MT / 10 am PT

SESSION 1: Tuesday, Nov 4, 2025

Assessing Attachment and Trauma

This opening class gives you a clear, practical framework for assessing how disrupted attachment and trauma shape identity, behavior, and relationships. We’ll review the four childhood/adult attachment styles and the survival coping reactions that show up in session when intensity rises.

You’ll learn to differentiate secure versus disrupted Internal Working Models (IWMs) and how those models appear in language, posture, and relational moves. We’ll also cover efficient ways to collect relevant history without re-traumatizing clients.

Finally, you’ll work with the Life Script—a structured sentence-completion tool that quickly reveals core beliefs, mandates, and protective strategies. You’ll see how to turn assessment findings into a focused treatment plan.

Map the four attachment styles and predict in-room patterns.
Identify the four survival reactions: fight, flight, freeze, and submit.
Distinguish secure vs. disrupted IWMs with behavioral markers.
Use the Life Script to surface core beliefs that guide intervention.

SESSION 2: Tuesday, Dec 2, 2025

First Year of Life Attachment Cycle

We’ll examine the first-year attachment cycle—need → arousal → gratification → trust—and why misses in any phase reverberate through adult relationships. Understanding this cycle anchors psychoeducation and normalizes clients’ present reactions.

You’ll learn the micro-cues (eye contact, vocal tone, touch, pacing) that build safety and how to titrate them for different attachment adaptations. We’ll emphasize how to invite regulation before insight so new experiences can “land.”

We’ll reframe survival responses as adaptive to early environments, reducing shame and creating a compassionate foundation for change.

Teach the four stages of the early attachment cycle in simple language.
Use attuned cues such as eye contact, voice, and touch to build felt safety.
Reframe survival strategies as adaptive, lowering shame and defense.
Begin treatment from a place of engagement, empathy, and safety.

SESSION 3: Tuesday, Jan 13, 2026

Revisiting the Inner Child

This module introduces an experiential method for accessing younger parts that still drive present reactions. You’ll learn preparation steps—safety, relaxation, and clear contracting—so the work is contained, empowering, and choice-based.

We’ll apply the five components of experiential change to help clients contact unmet needs, express emotion safely, and update limiting beliefs that shape present relationships and self-perception. The goal is repair, not re-exposure, fostering compassion for the younger self and new internal models of safety and trust.

You’ll leave with structured prompts, debriefing steps, and integration practices that translate emotional resolution into everyday skills, self-regulation, and greater relational capacity.

Prepare clients (safety, relaxation, agreements) to contact younger parts.
Guide inner-child work using the five components of change.
Translate emotional repair into constructive coping and skills practice.
Strengthen self-regard and agency in trauma/attachment repair.

SESSION 4: Tuesday, Feb 17, 2026

Psychodramatic Reenactment: Role Play for Trauma Repair

Here we use Psychodramatic Reenactment to transform stuck attachment memories into corrective emotional experiences. You’ll learn the Revisit → Revise → Revitalize arc and how to pace activation.

We’ll highlight the therapist–client relationship as a secure base during role play, including positioning, language, and titration to keep arousal in the workable window.

We’ll also address resistance and countertransference so the method remains safe, ethical, and effective across presentations, helping you stay attuned, grounded, and responsive as clients engage in deep experiential repair.

SESSION 5: Tuesday, Mar 17, 2026

Attachment Communication Training (ACT)

This class teaches ACT, a structured approach for replacing destructive cycles with secure, cooperative communication. You’ll coach specific behaviors—clear requests, boundaries, empathy responses—that clients can practice in session.

We’ll connect assessment results (e.g., Life Script themes) to moment-to-moment intervention so the right move is made at the right time. You’ll get language prompts and repair steps that generalize beyond the session, helping clients carry secure communication into daily life.

By the end of this session, you’ll know how to de-escalate quickly and build trust, agency, and intimacy across couples and families, fostering lasting patterns of safety, respect, and authentic connection.

Apply ACT sharing/listening and conflict-management guidelines.
Replace criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling with secure communication.
Coach requests, boundaries, and repair language step-by-step.
Integrate Life Script insights to target high-leverage moments.

SESSION 6: Tuesday, Apr 14, 2026

Review, Process, Future Goals & Applications

Our course consolidates your map: assessment → experiential interventions → communication repair. We’ll review clinical wins and troubleshoot common sticking points.

You’ll design individualized integration plans for your specific settings, including private practice, agencies, and schools, adapting protocols to meet diverse populations and cultural contexts.

We’ll end by naming the elements of change that sustain progress and exploring how to carry a reliable secure-base stance into every session, supporting ongoing resilience and secure connection.

Integrate assessment + interventions into one coherent treatment flow.
Adapt methods for individuals, couples, families, and groups.
Identify process-of-change factors that support lasting gains.
Commit to a secure-base therapeutic stance moving forward.

PLUS you’ll also get this Member-Only BONUS!

Meet the Experts

“Psychotherapy focuses on changing brain structure and function, rewiring the limbic brain, as well as mental, emotional, and social change.”

Terry M. Levy, PhD, DAPA, BCFE, is Director of the Evergreen Psychotherapy Center and the Attachment Treatment and Training Institute. A licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado and Florida, he brings more than 40 years of clinical practice, teaching, and consultation focused on attachment, trauma, and experiential therapy.

Dr. Levy co-founded and served as president of ATTACh, helping advance global awareness of attachment’s role in development and healing. He is co-author of Attachment, Trauma and Healing, editor of the Handbook of Attachment Interventions, and co-author of Healing Parents. Known for turning theory into step-by-step methods, he teaches practical tools that build safety, trust, and secure connection for individuals, couples, and families.

“We are hurt in relationships, and we heal in relationships. Through safe connection and compassionate presence, we restore trust and move toward wholeness.”

Diane Poole Heller PhD, is an internationally recognized speaker, author, and teaching expert in the field of adult attachment theory and trauma resolution.

Her signature approach—DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning experience)—provides therapists and individuals with relevant skills and practical exercises that facilitate healing from attachment and trauma wounds.

Her work with adult attachment has forged a path for adults with childhood attachment injuries to develop Secure Attachment Skills (SAS) that lead to more connected and fulfilling adult relationships. Through various training programs, books, lectures and her own work as a clinical therapist, Dr. Heller has helped a countless number of people in their healing journey towards experiencing greater intimacy, wholeness and more fulfilling relationships.

She believes that when we heal ourselves first, we heal our families, our communities and the world as a whole.

“The healing I received is still such a blessing to me. I have so much confidence in my life and am free from the burden of needing acceptance from others. The anger has mostly dissipated and I have a lot of joy. I have spent time over the last 4+ years growing that confidence and becoming a better wife and mother. We are in a beautiful place!”

— Julie K., past client of Dr. Terry Levy

Frequently Asked Questions

How can we help you?

What is the Therapy Mastermind Circle membership program?

Therapy Mastermind Circle is an annual online training and community for trauma and attachment professionals. Each topic runs for six months, with monthly live sessions hosted on Zoom where you’ll learn from Dr. Diane Poole Heller and invited experts who bring years of clinical experience to their teaching.

Every session includes live instruction, experiential exercises, and Q&A, with opportunities for small-group breakout practice alongside your peers. You’ll also have access to a private learning portal in Kajabi, where you can submit questions, review recorded sessions at your own pace, and download materials like slides, worksheets, and transcripts.

Membership provides ongoing access to an engaged community of like-minded clinicians, plus a growing library of demos, interventions, and case studies designed to deepen your skill set. Enrollment opens twice a year, and topics rotate every six months—each offering new perspectives, methods, and tools to help you and your clients thrive.

Do I need to be a therapist to join the Therapy Mastermind Circle membership?

No you do not. While most members are mental-health professionals (therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, MFTs), related professionals and advanced coaches who work with attachment and trauma are welcome. This program is professional education—not therapy for the general public.

Since this particular cohort includes live demos, small group breakout sessions and experiential teaching, we do encourage any non-therapists who choose to join us to have therapeutic support in place, as the material covered during our time together is not meant as a substitute for therapy. If you are currently working with a mental health professional, we encourage you to invite them to join this program as well.

Are the class session live or pre-recorded?

Each monthly live session will be streamed live via Zoom online (see curriculum for scheduled dates). Additionally, you’ll be able to submit questions each week through the private course portal and during the live monthly session, which always includes time for Q&A.

Every call will be recorded and stored inside the private course portal, so you may review it at your own pace. However, we highly recommend you attend live so you don’t miss live teaching and the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions with your peers.

When are the live classes?

Program materials—including audio recordings, video replays, and transcripts from each session—are yours to download and keep within your portal. For privacy reasons, demo videos are view-only and may not be downloaded.

You can also submit questions directly through Kajabi outside of live sessions. It’s a supportive space to ask questions, share insights, and connect with Dr. Terry, Dr. Heller, and your colleagues throughout the program.

Is there a community space for questions?

Yes. You’ll have access to our members-only discussion space inside Kajabi (your learning portal) and occasional pop-up Zoom office hours/Q&A threads. It’s a supportive, professional environment—great for clarifying how to apply an intervention in your setting.

How many CE credits can I earn for this course?

Only the LIVE, ONLINE sessions for this course have been approved for a total of 8 CE credit hours. If you are a licensed clinical professional counselor or a licensed social worker—you may purchase these CE credits for an additional fee of $89 via our website.

CE credits must be purchased by the beginning of the last live session—Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Attendance will be taken to verify eligibility.

Upon completion of the program, you will be sent an activity evaluation link, which must be completed within 60 days after the last program session (by Saturday, June 13, 2026). Upon completion of the activity evaluation, participants can print their certificate or statement of credit immediately.

Also, a Certificate of Completion is available to all students at the end of the course upon request at no additional charge.

Note: It is the participants responsibility to check their individual state boards to verify CE requirements for their state. For detailed information regarding CEs, please contact our Customer Support Team.

Can my practice or organization purchase multiple seats?

Yes. We can invoice for group enrollments and help with CE documentation. Please contact our Customer Support Team for simple group options.
