Places of Safety: Talk and Q&A with Alix Hearn

JUNE 8TH | 7 PM | ONLINE

We are delighted to present a FREE webinar with Alix Hearn, child and adolescent psychotherapist, ecopsychotherapist and author, to celebrate the release of her new book, Places of Safety: How Attachment Shapes Our Parenting.

Alix’s book, Places of Safety explores how our earliest relationships, environments and wider social contexts shape the way that we parent, care for others, and relate to ourselves.

In conversation with psychotherapist and lecturer Georgina Sturmer, this event will offer an opportunity to reflect on attachment, parenting, transgenerational influences, and the wider systems that shape emotional wellbeing for children, young people, and families.

Whether you are a therapist, parent, educator, or someone interested in attachment and relational thinking, this promises to be a thoughtful and reflective discussion about what helps us feel safe, connected, and understood.

Optima Presents

Optima Health Services is a specialist training and wellbeing organisation for people who want to understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape how they live and work.

Our work is rooted in attachment-informed practice, but we do not believe insight should stay in theory books or training rooms. It needs to be useful. It needs to make sense in real life.

We offer professional training, therapeutic learning, couples retreats, and restorative retreats for therapists who spend so much of their lives holding others.

At the heart of it all is the same belief: when people understand themselves more clearly, they can relate differently, recover differently, and grow in ways that last.
