The PACT Institute: What does it mean to have a secure-functioning relationship? HD

PACT is a fusion of developmental neuroscience, attachment theory, and arousal regulation and has a strong therapeutic stance that guides clinicians to help couples develop secure-functioning relationships. They do this by understanding early attachment and its effect on brain and nervous system development, and its influence on current experience in relationships. PACT teaches clinicians how to "catch people in the act of being themselves."
