Episode 10- Wounded Bambies

Evan, Melissa, and Eli explore the way in which attachment styles impact peoples’ messages, perceived messages, and counselors’ countertransference. This conversation also generated discussions related to:

• Counselor’s response to a client with anxious/avoidant attachment style
• Importance of a counselor’s self-awareness
• When is “avoidant” a healthy, optimal response within a relationship?
• Wounded Bambies . . . how might family and/or partners sabotage a person’s recovery journey; a sick system doesn’t want to lose its scapegoat
• Is a conversation with another clinician a “consultation” or an incidence of “triangulation”
• See clients as elastic, ever changing lava
