Event:Mothers and Daughters: A Complex Couple…
Venue:Online
Date:06/06/2025
Duration:10am - 4pm BST
Extra Info:Speaker: Victoria Settle

In this workshop we will explore the often-complex relationship dynamics between mothers and daughters and consider how we might work with these dynamics in the consulting room.

We will begin by considering women’s social history, before moving on to look at the mother-daughter relationship through the lens of attachment theory and consider the impact on a daughter’s development when she has been raised with an avoidant mother, a preoccupied mother, a secure mother, a traumatised mother.

We will spend most of the workshop considering a more attachment based psychodynamic and psychoanalytic clinical focus to explore the impact of the maternal on a daughter and the issues around the identification that each has to one another. We will consider potential projections, hopes, desires, fears, and the separation-individuation process and consider how we might work with these dynamics in the consulting room.
