Diane Poole Heller

Diane Poole Heller, PhD, is a leading expert in attachment trauma and creator of the DARe model. As a contributor to the Online Coaching Formula by Pat Rigsby, she shares powerful tools to help therapists and coaches heal deep-rooted wounds and restore secure attachment through somatic and relational practices.

Diane Poole Heller, PhD, developed DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning Experience), which provides a safe haven for therapists internationally to understand and heal their own attachment adaptations as well as restoring Secure Attachment functioning for clients. Using co-mindfulness, she creates somatic and relational clinical applications of corrective experiences aimed at excavating core wounds from implicit memory—wounds that are locked in the body unconscious—toward explicit memory to facilitate recognition and integration. Diane also emphasizes interventions that deeply nourish the Secure Attachment System.
