Attachment and Emotional Regulation in Religion and Spirituality

5 consecutive Thursdays, 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Eastern Time, USA, online only via Zoom. 

Beginning April 13, 2023
Instructor: David Walczyk, EdD, LP, NCPsyA

7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

The influence and connection between our childhood attachment relationships and our adult relationship and emotional regulation with religion and spirituality will be the focus of this course. Pragmatically, we will reflect on how our attachment style informs and often unconsciously determines the forms of spirituality and religion we are drawn to and reject as adults.

We will focus some of our time on shadow and how religion and spiritualty are often used unconsciously to spiritually bypass the processing and healing of early attachment trauma and emotional dysregulation. Unfortunately, this repression of childhood attunement trauma tends to be encouraged by many within spirituality and religion. We will end by using Jung and Jungian psychology as an applied case study. The implicit correlation between attachment and religion and spirituality in both positive and negative (shadow) senses should be obvious by the end of the course.
