Attachment vs Love in Trauma Therapy: EMDR Meets Modern Relationship Stages with David Kazmierczak

This advanced clinical training with David Kazmierczak, LCSW explores the difference between emotional attachment and love, and how that distinction can radically improve trauma treatment. Drawing from both EMDR’s 8 phases and Matt Hussey’s four relational stages from Love Life, David maps out a practical, relationally-focused framework for working with attachment wounds inside EMDR and other trauma therapies. Using real case material and live discussion, he explains: • How the “attachment cry” emerges when fight-or-flight has failed, and why this often precedes freeze and collapse • Why cognitive, verbal interventions fall flat when clients are sliding into hypoxia, dissociation, or collapse • How to recognize subtle signs of shutdown (yawning, slumping, drifting, “polite compliance”) versus genuine regulation • The difference between attachment (self-focused survival) and love (other-focused connection) • How admiration, limerence, people-pleasing, and selective perception show up in both romantic and therapeutic relationships • How to track mixed signals, ambivalence, and “hovering” around commitment in relationships and in therapy • How to integrate relational stages into each of the 8 EMDR phases: history-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and re-evaluation • The role of self-trust, boundaries, and clear agreements in building secure attachment and avoiding reenactment of past trauma This training was hosted under Green Will Conservancy, Inc. and is especially relevant for EMDR clinicians and trauma therapists who want to deepen their understanding of relational dynamics, attachment injuries, and how to keep the therapeutic relationship central while doing phase-oriented trauma work.
