Follow-up Question

Thank you so much for providing clarity with utilising attachment styles in practice.  Can you please provide additional information regarding the following:

Limits = boundaries?

Connection elements = connection incongruence?

What do you mean by lay out compatibility? Are you talking about creating a safe, and non judgemental therapeutic environment?

Many thanks.
