Shark Music and Core Sensitivities

Deepen your understanding of one of Circle of Security's most powerful concepts: Shark Music - the uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, and sensations that arise when we perceive relationship threats. 

Facilitators were first introduced to Shark Music in the COSP Facilitator training. The Shark Music and the Core Sensitivities course offers a deeper understanding of Shark Music by giving facilitators a window into the underlying themes we all hold and our predictable reactions that live in procedural memory. These specific themes are what we call Core Sensitivities in the Circle of Security approach.

Learning about Core Sensitivities gives a systematic understanding of our pervasive and often hidden Shark Music struggles, and offers a coherent road map that can help bring clarity to these specific and predictable reactions that show up when we listen to our Shark Music and keep us from responding accurately to the present moment. 

Understanding our repetitive patterns gives us, and the caregivers we work with, the opportunity to change. This has the potential to improve outcomes for caregivers as well as our own personal relationships.
