CORE 6 PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SERIES

For practitioners working with adults impacted by childhood developmental trauma and Complex Ptsd, Core 6 brings attachment neuroscience and theory into a connected professional framework spanning anxious, avoidant, disorganised and secure attachment, alongside fight, flight, freeze and fawn trauma responses.

Across six interconnected courses, attachment is considered as more than a relationship label or fixed personality style. Core 6 places patterns of proximity, reassurance, emotional distance, trust, intimacy and connection within developmental and relational context, before extending the learning into trauma-related responses and their expression within adult experience.

WHY THIS FOUNDATION MATTERS

When Attachment Insight Is Not Enough: The Brain, Developmental Trauma and What Becomes Possible in Relationship

Attachment theory provides an important foundation for understanding relational development. Within Complex Ptsd, however, recognising an attachment pattern may not fully explain why difficulties with trust, intimacy and connection remain hard to change despite insight, intention or a desire for healthier relationships.

Core 6 takes attachment beyond pattern identification by bringing attachment neuroscience and developmental trauma into the professional picture. Anxious, avoidant and disorganised attachment are considered within this wider context rather than as fixed personality types or complete explanations for adult relationships.

Fight, flight, freeze and fawn add another layer, positioning trauma-related responding alongside attachment learning while retaining the distinction between them. This provides a more differentiated framework for understanding relational presentations that can otherwise appear contradictory, resistant or difficult to explain.

Secure attachment brings the potential for change into the learning. Developmental history is not positioned as relational destiny, allowing the professional picture to include adaptation, later relational experience and the development of greater trust, intimacy, connection and relational security.

Core 6 moves beyond identifying attachment styles to examine the developmental, brain and trauma-related context of persistent relational difficulty — and what can support the possibility of meaningful relational change.

PRACTICAL OUTCOMES

Professional Application Across Core 6

01 | ATTACHMENT NEUROSCIENCE

Professional context for attachment theory, attachment related brain processes and the developmental foundations associated with relational and emotional functioning.

02 | ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT

Anxious attachment in relation to reassurance, proximity, fear of abandonment, emotional experience and patterns that can continue within adult relationships.

03 | AVOIDANT ATTACHMENT

Avoidant attachment in relation to emotional distance, independence, trust, intimacy and patterns of connection that can develop within early relational experience.

04 | DISORGANISED ATTACHMENT

Disorganised attachment within the context of trauma, trust, relational safety and conflicting patterns of connection that can continue into adult experience.

05 | SECURE ATTACHMENT

Secure attachment as a relational framework involving trust, intimacy, emotional expression, support and connection, alongside the potential for attachment patterns to change over time.

06 | THE 4F TRAUMA RESPONSES

Fight, flight, freeze and fawn as trauma related responses, providing additional context for patterns of protection and survival that may appear within adult functioning and relationships.

CURRICULUM

The Core 6 Practitioner Learning Pathway

01 | Neuroscience of Attachment

Attachment theory and the neuroscience associated with attachment, beginning with the developmental importance of emotional bonds between infants and caregivers. The course brings together attachment research, brain development and the four attachment styles within the wider context of emotional and social development.

02 | Anxious Attachment

Anxious attachment within developmental and adult relational experience, including proximity, reassurance, fear of abandonment, emotional intensity and patterns of dependence. The course considers the origins and ongoing relational expression of anxious attachment alongside Complex Trauma.

03 | Avoidant Attachment

Avoidant attachment in relation to emotional intimacy, independence, vulnerability, trust and emotional expression. The course places adult relational patterns alongside attachment history and the developmental experiences associated with avoidant attachment.

04 | Disorganised Attachment

Disorganised attachment within the context of trauma, trust and relational experience, including conflicting responses to intimacy and connection. The course considers the developmental origins of disorganised attachment and the ways associated patterns can continue within adult relationships.

05 | Secure Attachment

Secure attachment in relation to trust, intimacy, emotional expression, support and connection. The course considers secure attachment within adult relationships alongside attachment history, relational experience and the ways Complex Trauma can disrupt established patterns of security.

06 | The 4F's Trauma Responses

Fight, flight, freeze and fawn within trauma related responding, including triggers, protective responses and their expression within present experience. The course places the 4F responses within a trauma informed approach that includes safety, validation and practical consideration of the client's individual response patterns.

THE CLINICAL DISTINCTION
Identifying an attachment pattern can describe part of what is happening. It does not necessarily explain why a different relational response remains difficult to access.

NeuroSynqt™ adds developmental, brain and trauma-related context to the attachment picture, supporting a more differentiated understanding of what may be influencing trust, intimacy, connection and relational change.

Core 6 moves beyond attachment style identification to place attachment neuroscience, developmental experience, relational organisation and trauma-related responding within the wider Complex Ptsd framework.

WHY NEUROSYNQT™

Attachment theory can help practitioners identify and understand patterns associated with anxious, avoidant, disorganised and secure attachment. Within Complex Ptsd, NeuroSynqt™ takes the professional enquiry further by asking what developmental, brain and trauma-related context may also be relevant to what is occurring in the relationship.

This distinction becomes important when insight does not translate into change. A person may understand their attachment history, recognise a familiar relational pattern and genuinely want a different experience, yet continue to find trust, intimacy, vulnerability or connection difficult when it matters.

Core 6 brings attachment neuroscience into this wider picture alongside developmental experience and relational organisation. Fight, flight, freeze and fawn add a separate trauma-related dimension, allowing protective responses to be considered alongside attachment without treating the two as interchangeable.

Secure attachment ensures the framework does not end with what developed under earlier conditions. The curriculum also considers the potential for attachment patterns to change, placing trust, intimacy, emotional expression, support and connection within a professional picture that includes adaptation and later relational experience.

Attachment patterns can provide important information about relational experience, but the pattern itself does not necessarily explain why trust, intimacy, vulnerability or connection remain difficult even when a person understands what is happening and wants something different.

Dan Siegel’s work on integration provides a useful wider context. Integration involves differentiated aspects of experience becoming linked while retaining their differences, allowing brain, mind and relationships to be considered as interconnected rather than as isolated areas of functioning.

Within Complex Ptsd, this matters because attachment history, developmental experience, present relational patterns and trauma-related responses can all contribute different information to the professional picture. No single attachment label needs to carry the explanatory weight of the whole presentation.

Core 6 uses this wider integration context to move professional thinking beyond identifying an attachment style and towards a more differentiated understanding of relational difficulty, adaptation and the potential for change.

Dr Dan Siegel

Trauma informed care builds awareness.
Trauma trained practice asks what may sit beneath a relational pattern when understanding that pattern has not been enough to change it.

Within Complex Ptsd, difficulties with trust, intimacy, vulnerability and connection may involve more than attachment organisation alone. Developmental experience, attachment neuroscience and trauma-related responding provide additional clinical context for presentations that can otherwise appear inconsistent, resistant or difficult to understand.

This becomes particularly relevant when a client has insight into their relational patterns and wants healthier relationships, yet continues to experience difficulty accessing something different when connection becomes emotionally significant.

Fight, flight, freeze and fawn add further context for considering protective responding without reducing relational difficulty to an attachment label or a single explanatory model.

Trauma trained practice therefore changes the professional question from simply “What attachment pattern am I seeing?” to a wider consideration of what may be contributing to the persistence of that pattern within Complex Ptsd - while retaining the possibility of adaptation, greater relational security and meaningful change.

The distinction is not simply knowing more about attachment. It is having a wider Complex Ptsd framework for understanding why relational change may remain difficult even when the pattern is already known.

Core 6 draws on established attachment theory, attachment neuroscience and developmental research to examine attachment within a wider Complex Ptsd context.

The curriculum moves beyond attachment-style identification to examine the research and theoretical foundations associated with early relational development, attachment organisation and adult relational experience. Anxious, avoidant, disorganised and secure attachment are retained as differentiated areas of study rather than used as fixed descriptions of the individual.

Trauma related responding adds a separate evidence-informed perspective. Fight, flight, freeze and fawn are considered alongside attachment learning while maintaining the distinction between attachment organisation and protective responding.

This research is brought into professional application through a trauma trained framework that supports more differentiated clinical thinking about relational difficulty, adaptation and the potential for change.

The aim is not to replace established attachment knowledge, but to extend how practitioners can apply it when working with the additional complexity of developmental trauma and Complex Ptsd.

"Linda Meredith is a powerhouse at making complex trauma understandable and accessible. Her program is flexible, practical, and deeply supportive — allowing me to go at my own pace and truly engage with the material. What stands out is how the homework helps me embody the knowledge, not just memorise it. It’s sparked real ah-ha moments about how to support my clients more effectively. Linda’s generosity shines through everything she creates — from beautiful workbooks to business tools that make it easier to succeed as a coach. It honestly feels like she’s in my corner 24/7. This program is exactly what I needed. Thank you, Linda — you’re a gift. "

"I don’t know if anyone else can resonate, but I’m so hungry for more critical information to better serve my coaching clients that I simply cannot get enough of the material Linda creates! The Complex Ptsd survivors around the world are so fortunate to have someone as amazing as Linda Meredith creating courses for helping professionals! The depth of the content and the support this course offers is PHENOMENAL! If you haven’t started taking the course and you are on the fence, I would HIGHLY recommend you take the leap and sign up

Thanks Linda for what you do!"

“Linda has a warm, caring attitude with a sense of humour to boot about the effects of CPtsd on someone. Her insight, videos, articles, and support have helped me over humps and I have seen the effect it has had on others too. Linda speaks not only through her education, but also from her own experience. She understands what brings about CPtsd and how to help you address that trauma in a caring, kind, compassionate, and sometimes firm fashion. I highly recommend her if you are looking to heal from trauma you’ve experienced or even if you’re looking to understand more about the impact of CPtsd. Be kind, be understanding, and do yourself a favour and learn from Linda’s materials!.”

The course was the right mix of technical and non-technical elements. The course was also interesting, as I learned a lot about complex trauma and how this would apply for individual clients in the real world. Linda Meredith did a good job of communicating and making it easier to work with my clients with CPtsd.

The course taught me in a very friendly and engaging way. The course material was really helpful in preparing my skills and knowledge needed in the real world. It was well structured and the content was interesting and relevant. The materials were excellent, the mentoring approach was excellent and the free supervision helped me get my business off the ground.

The courses are taught by Linda Meredith who is highly experienced and knowledgeable. Linda clearly understands the importance of working with clients with complex trauma and takes the time to ensure you understand the information in a way that is easy to grasp and use with clients.
