Hey everyone! I just finished the “Why Attunement Works” 🎉 Here’s what I’ve watched 👇 ✅ The Attunement Origin Story Interview ✅ Integrative Psychiatry Didactics 1 ✅ Integrative Psychiatry Didactics 2 ✅ Principles and Benefits of The Attunement Model ✅ Preventing ODD Through the Attunement ✅ Bonus: Family Proximity ✅ Partner in Bringing Attunement to Your Community ⸻ Here are some of my comments 👇 I am so excited about Attunement because: 1. It will help me continue to build the relationships between my family and my girlfriend 2. It will equip me with the necessary tools, resources, and methodologies for my clients (I serve veterans specifically) 3. I believe it will ultimately help shape the entire mental healthcare system. Going from "treatment" to prevention and reversal. Three things I learned from the videos are 👇 1. No one is truly "disordered", as we live in an ordered world. 2. The current system is binary, saying "you have this disorder" or you don't. This effectively dehumanizes the person. The Attunement Model instead shares a "Stress Continuum" that every human experiences, regardless of previous mental diagnoses. 3. Since I work with veterans, it gave me a clearer insight of how this model can truly help reverse mental illness in this community, not just by working at the individual level, but looking at the family dynamics of the spouse and child(ren). Here’s a question about Attunement I have for the community: I do have certain discernments with what specific practices I'd like to introduce to my clients, particularly when it comes to spiritual/yogic practices. Throughout this training moving forward, is there an expectation of introducing those practices to my clients? Or is there optionality?

I had an experience with my girlfriend yesterday afternoon while we were in the car about to plan for a place to go out to eat. I had my phone ping mid-conversation, and it was a text message from my mom. And she took a one-second peek at the notification that was sent. Little did I know, this would immediately trigger her into deep frustration. She saw the little "😘" emoji, and didn't know the context of who sent it and why it was sent. Before ever deciding to dismiss her feelings, I wanted to hold space for her to share what was going deep within her. She vocalized about how traumatizing her past relationships were for her. She experienced manipulation, cheating, and affairs, which jaded her from seeing what an actual, healthy relationship looked like. So I let her voice her deep frustrations to me. She said she wasn't mad at me or upset with me, but she was upset with herself for allowing this to happen. But my response to her was that none of that was her fault. She put the blame on herself, but I removed that blame in the moment so that she wouldn't relive that shame. After that, I wanted to make sure this was a collaborative effort to ensure how I can continue to build trust with her, so that these triggers don't occur as frequently. I literally saw her go from crying and genuinely frustrated, to beaming with joy in 5 minutes from that interaction. And that was everything to me! This was put into practice the same day I consumed the Attunement classroom material, particularly "How to Share Anger in a Loving Way". This training can be applied across any domain. And it's truly simple! Thank you @Dr. Adena Blickstein for your service to families everywhere, and the resources you provide. It truly makes a difference!
