Ep. 87 : Attachment Theory and Living Connected with Duey Freeman

Modern Mindfulness Podcast

On today's episode, we have a legend. In general but specifically in his work on attachment [theory], our relational process as humans built to connect, why intimacy with nature and animals may unlock so much, and ultimately how to live a full, present life.
Duey Freeman, MA LPC, is a sought after teacher, trainer, licensed psychotherapist, university professor and equine professional around the world. He has travelled to teach professionally in over 8 countries, has developed a practical attachment theory and human development model that is taught to thousands of university students and clients, has over 75,000 direct client hours, and co-founded both the Gestalt Equine Institute and the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies. He also taught at Naropa University (which began as a Buddhist Contemplative Study Center) in Boulder, Colorado for 31 years.
The Gestalt Method and Relational Horsemanship are not just approaches to Duey; they are how he walks through the world. He embodies both tenderness and strength in all his relations and work. His quality of contact and relationship with others is authentic and unique, and has many people coming from around the country and world to study with him. He has worked incredibly hard to master his arts, and finds great joy in teaching ‘honest students’. Duey is a true elder and mentor, and is exploring new horizons in facilitating men’s growth work through retreats and psycho-education groups.
Duey provides supervision to therapists and graduate students, does business and land consultations for new equine therapy sites, and models being a life-long student to your passions.
