Thomas Hedlund who has been presenting professional trainings and educational workshops for the public for the past twenty five years. As a psychotherapist and addictions educator with a lengthy affiliation with John Bradshaw and the recovery field.  Tom’s expertise is treating compulsive and addictive behavior as well as understanding the effects of traumatic events on personality development and its impacts on adult function. Recent breakthroughs in attachment and affective neuroscience help explain how early life survival and adaptive mechanisms become barriers to flexibility and change in adult life. Basically, failed attachment to the caretaker creates attachment to survival mechanisms which eventually become attachments to chemical and other compulsive behaviors in a vain attempt to find safety, protection, comfort and security.
