Attachment is a phenomenon that has been studied and discussed for decades. Attachment Theory describes this phenomenon as a fundamental bond that is created initially with the first caregiver/s and then carries into adulthood.

Why is it important to know and understand attachment? Attachments formed in early childhood do not only influence adult relationships, but a variety of other factors. Neurobiological, interpersonal, and emotional factors are influenced by early attachment patterns. For example, children with a history of secure attachment are found to have high levels of self-esteem and emotional health in adulthood, whereas children with histories of avoidant and anxious attachment can show the opposite once adults.

How can attachment patterns established in early childhood relate to voice? Attachment can have a potentially profound impact on voice and voice work from a variety of perspectives, from physiological to interpersonal. In this course, we will discuss current perspectives and explore ways that attachment styles might show up (and possibly have shown up for participants already!) in the voice studio.

In this course, we will learn and metabolize attachment-related concepts in a way that offers additional perspective and tools to implement in the voice work.
