• I will address the specific challenges in empowering these survivors to stop "paying the price of admission" to intimacy, and discuss how therapists can find effective strategies for addressing pre-verbal and early verbal core beliefs about self, being lovable, and being safe in relationships.

• Educational Objectives: Describe how early attachment trauma creates problematic relationship schema, the "price of admission" construct.

• Describe strategies for assisting adults to identify their "price of admission" schemata.

• Describe how these problematic attachment schemata manifest themselves in therapy.
