Jules and David explore the process of attachment repair and healing. David shares his views of how the ideal parent figure process can help clients more easily access implicit attachment memories, can provide new experience of attunement and delight and soothing, and how it might support earned secure attachment for those who had insecure attachment experiences. They also discuss the presence of the therapist and the collaborative nature of attachment work.
