ALAMFT Enrichment Series: Maladaptive Fawning, Masking, & Manipulation: A Neuroaffirming Systemic Perspective on Healing & Forming Authentic Relationships
As part of ALAMFT's effort to bring continuing education throughout the year, we are excited to present our 2025 Enrichment Series. During this event, we will explore an ethical and clinical approach to working with neurodivergent families. By examining a range of case studies, participants will strive to incorporate dual empathy into neuroaffirming ethical case conceptualization and clinical applications for neuroaffirmative practices across the lifespan. Specifically, the session will focus on the intergenerational interaction patterns and perspectives on maladaptive fawning, masking, and manipulation with the goal of supporting the system as they transition into forming authentic, securely attached relationships.
