It has become common practice to not view \u201cAnthropos\u201d (Greek for the \u201cwhole human being\u201d, both male and female) in a long-term exploration of unconscious drives, or a focus on an individual&#8217;s internal thoughts and behaviours, but rather to emphasize the interconnectedness of group and family members and how their interactional patterns and roles influence the wellbeing of those seeking our services.<\/p>\n<p>More recent advances in neuroscience research show that attachment &#8211; a wired-in human need to connect &#8211; is the biological, emotion regulation-based system guiding cognitive and emotional processes with respect to intimate and significant relationships. Emotion is what colors our world and is the &#8216;music of the dance\u2019 we do with others.<br \/>\nAs systemic therapists we need to take on board the perspective of attachment theory and integrate experiential interventions to work with and within deep vulnerable emotions and so de-escalate negative interactional patterns and foster new bonding events that increase the security between partners and families &#8211; interventions that stress the primary significance of emotion and emotional communication in the organization of the reciprocally determining system of responses that constitute an attachment relationship.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1745\"><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSf-yjBej-4MsDobtP_YbDpWuKwyVOb43UeLjWLj8JjfYV6JDg\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PARTICIPATE in the EFTA CONVERSATION Thursday 26 June ONLINE via Zoom 18:00-20:00 (CET) Working with\/in vulnerable emotions in couple and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37807,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[275],"tags":[292],"class_list":["post-37811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-kyriaki-polychroni-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37811"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37811\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37818,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37811\/revisions\/37818"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akma.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
