Praise for DARe

Diane’s knowledge is deep and her breadth of understanding of the human condition is exquisite!” New York Therapist

  • “The material was so well presented – very clear, well organized. The addition of the manual is really great and helpful and I will continue to refer to it. The attachment module was relevant to clinical practice and Diane is particularly good at providing links between the didactic and clinical application.” – Anon
  • “The exercises were great! The specific clinical SE ways of working with the different types of attachment was revealing and trans-formative. There were very clear explanations of attachment styles and dynamics of what happens as the person separates from the wound pattern. What wonderful work you are bringing to the world!” – A. Morris
  • “I liked Diane’s awareness of the larger picture, the larger outcome of spiritual wholeness and maturity and her frequent reference to this. Also her clear statement of how our (therapists’) own attachment experiences and how effectively we re-patterning these can support the relational field with our clients. This was a sweet, powerful weekend!” – M. Bojourno

Trauma, Attachment, and Embracing Essence with Dr. Diane Heller

Guest House is proud to announce our latest upcoming retreat, "Trauma, Attachment, and Embracing Essence" with Dr. Diane Poole Heller. The training is divided into two workshops.

Workshop I (Feb 1-5) will engage with our early childhood and work to uncover how early-life development affects our interactions in our close intimate relationships as well as with ourselves. We will work to grasp the unconscious dynamics that inhibit contact and intimacy, and uncover one's intrinsic healthy attachment system.

In Workshop II (February 5-7, 2012), Dr. Heller will present an additional practicum class for practitioners in the healing arts professions. We will approach trauma and attachment holistically and effectively by employing a unique blend of therapeutic modalities to help alleviate stuck attachment patterns and directly address the recovery needs of our clients.

Continuing Education Units (see list below) will be available for a nominal fee for both trainings. $35 for Workshop I (22 CEUs) and Workshop II (10 CEUs) and $45 for both (32 CEUs). You can register for CEUs the first morning of Workshop.

Please see the Guest House for partial tuition scholarships.
