Re-Attach
Re-Attach Training
ReAttach is developed and pioneered by Drs. Paula Weerkamp as a multi-modal intervention to support patients in dealing with complexities such as trauma, neuro-diversity, brain injury, and helping people reach their full potential.
Kerry Shoesmith is the foremost therapist and trainer in Re-Attach in the UK. She has trained all Connective Strength practitioners is using Re-attach, which they apply to parents and, where indicated, to children and young people, often in each other’s presence.
About Re-Attach
Re-Attach is an innovative method that has been developed in the Netherlands to support affect regulation where individuals experience high levels of baseline arousal, leading to chronic anxiety or angry responsiveness and traumatic reactions such as fight, flight, freeze or even dissociation. The efficacy of Re-Attach has been demonstrated in extensive pre-post-treatment studies (Bartholomeus, 2013), (Weerkamp-Bartholomeus P, 2015).
​
ReAttach uses voice, thinking tasks, and light rhythmic touch on the hands. It ensures that you can retrieve, register, and (re) place the correct information. The exercises create new brain connections that provide different insights and replace old patterns.
​
ReAttach provides relaxation, overview, and a new perspective for growth.
