GAME OVER: Uncovering the Secrets of Unhealthy Relationship Behaviours and Manipulation explores more than 60 behaviours used to gain power and control in relationships.

Drawing on research and clinical experience, Julia helps practitioners recognise harmful patterns, understand their impact on identity, emotional safety and self-trust, and support clients with greater clarity and confidence.

The book also explores healthy communication, boundaries, accountability and repair, making it a valuable resource for both practitioners and clients.

Optima Presents

Optima Attachment Training is a specialist training and wellbeing organisation for people who want to understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape how they live and work.

Our work is rooted in attachment-informed practice, but we do not believe insight should stay in theory books or training rooms. It needs to be useful. It needs to make sense in real life.

We offer professional training, therapeutic learning, couples retreats, and restorative retreats for therapists who spend so much of their lives holding others.

At the heart of it all is the same belief: when people understand themselves more clearly, they can relate differently, recover differently, and grow in ways that last.
