Hello and welcome to Being Well, I'm Forest Hanson.

If you're new to the podcast, this is where we explore the practical science of last

and well-being.

And if you've listened before, welcome back.

I'm joined today as usual by Dr. Rick Hanson, so dad, how are you doing today?

Really good and really looking forward to talking with today's guest.

Yeah, same really looking forward to it.

Today we're going to be focusing on two of our most important and most frequently

tread subjects, attachment wounds and traumatic experiences, with a long-time therapist, trainer

of therapists, author, and expert in the fields of child and adult attachment theory and

trauma resolution, Dr. Diane Poole-Heller.

Diane has been practicing for over 35 years and focuses on using somatic or body-based

approaches to resolving the painful experiences and negative patterns that hold us back.

Her work on adult attachment has forged a path for adults with childhood attachment injuries

to develop the secure attachment skills that tend to lead to more connected and fulfilling

adult relationships.

And her expertise in trauma healing has supported survivors and the families of highly publicized

traumatic events like the Columbine and Boulder shootings.

So thanks so much for taking the time to join us today, Diane.

We really appreciate it.

How are you doing?

Hi, I'm thrilled to be here.
