The Truth
‘We help people choose to surrender the illusions,
mirages, and fantasies they have accepted about
themselves, about others, and about their conflicts...’
Kenneth Cloke (2001) Mediating Dangerously
2
NEW SOUTH WALES
‘If an organism is stuck in survival mode, its energies
are focussed on fighting off unseen enemies, which
leaves no room for nurture, care and love. For us
humans, it means that as long as the mind is
defending itself against invisible assaults, our closest
bonds are threatened, along with our ability to imagine,
plan, play learn and pay attention to other people's
needs’
(Van Der Kolk 2014)

Attachment Theory

Attachment Theory
Being meaningful to
someone important is what
the young child strives for
from the first interaction
Travarthen 2001

Attachment Theory
One of the consequences of poor
attachment is that there seems to be less
capacity for ‘reflective functioning’ – to think
about your own and other’s internal states.
(Rudi Dallos 2009)

Implicit memory
7
It is less painful to remember
something happening, even if it
is terrible, than to remember
nothing happening when you
needed someone to be with you
NEW SOUTH WALES
• We think we live with free will based on conscious
deliberation, actually the truth is we live about 500
milliseconds after the moment, allowing plenty of time for
our past learning to predict what will happen with
absolute certainty, severely limiting our free will.
