The Relationship Intelligence Model
Relational Intelligence® is a therapy that relies on the relational dynamics between patient and therapist, as well as in the patient him/herself, to resolve psychic conflicts and relational difficulties. This method not only treats complex psychological traumas, but also the attachment disorders that are very often associated with them and pre-existing.
Relational Intelligence® has been developed on the basis of recent neuroscientific data on attachment and the inclusion of neuroplasticity in the therapeutic process.
Relational Intelligence® provides a theoretical and practical framework for addressing the spectrum of attachment disorders and complex trauma through the flexible use of co-regulation and self-regulation.
This model is intended for mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, psycho-practitioners), individual support in a transformative approach (coaches, mediators, trainers, marriage counselors, teachers, educators, etc.), people in human resource management, professionals in the care professions, and people who are training in one of these professions.
Creating the conditions for self-regulation
Working with the parts and the Self
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model constitutes both the psychotherapeutic basis and the reference framework for Relational Intelligence®: releasing the Self by relaxing constraints, bringing the Self into play as the primary therapist, unblending of the parts in relation to the Self, systemic work, and unburdening through memory reconsolidation.
Creating the conditions for co-regulation
Inter-subjectivity
→ thanks to the creation of a relational space between therapist and patient in both verbal and bodily dimensions; ;
→ through the application of "metacognitive" which make explicit what is implicit in the relationship between therapist and patient; ;
→ to enable parties stuck in an attachment disorder to have the only possible experience of the Self at the beginning of therapy: an indirect experience; ;
→ to enable the injured parts to gain access to vital needs (the role of «secure» attachment).
The skills developed are based on data from polyvagal theory which provides a neurobiological reading of attachment and its disorders.
