DMM Coffee House #92: Bioenergetic therapy with Laurie Ure

Exploring the connection between bioenergetic therapy and DMM attachment theory

January 24, 2022 by CSI

15 February 2022. Therapist Laurie Ure will describe and discuss her use of bioenergetic therapy, and provide an experiential technique to demonstrate some principles. Similar to the Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaptation (DMM), this therapy model is a biopsychosocial model. Laurie will provide an overview of bioenergetic therapy with a PowerPoint presentation, walk everyone through an experiential exercise, and then host a Q & A session where we will explore the intersection of bioenergetic therapy and the DMM model of attachment. Laurie is not trained in the DMM but has considerable experience with clinical work addressing attachment wounds.

Bioenergetic therapy developed from the work of Alexander Lowen beginning in the 1950’s (around the same time John Bowlby began developing attachment theory). The model involves, in part, body-based interventions and movement to increase feeling, expand awareness, and promote overall health. When working with the body in therapy, clients often become more aware of the relational trauma they’ve suppressed. It is considered useful for helping clients recognize and begin to work through early attachment difficulties and traumas.

One of the DMM-related issues we might explore is how to help clients who are using attachment A-strategies to better open up to and connect with their somatic body sensations, and how to help people using attachment C-strategies regulate the intensity of their affective experience. This session should be an interesting follow up the previous Sensory Attachment Intervention sessions by North Ireland occupational Therapist and SAI developer Éadaoin Bhreathnach.
