Who is behind the project? Behind the project are three women who are committed to promoting safe attachment. These are Anke Laukemper and Brigitte Forstner, long-term, close employees of the attachment expert Prof. Dr. med. Karl Heinz Brisch, and Lydia Oehling, who created various media (film / web / print) on the subject of "binding" for him in 11 years of cooperation.LYDIA OEHLINGDiploma documentary film director, media specialist with a focus on "binding promotion" Lydia Oehling is the web representative and online Editor of the info platform. Her passion is to prepare complex information for specific target groups. You can see that best in her documentary film "Allow closeness", which is easy for everyone to experience. As the youngest of 6 children, she has been thinking about the topic “attachment” and relationship and the effects of negative attachment experiences since she was 15 years old. During her studies in pedagogy (minor in psychology) she was able to experience firsthand what happens when children are treated but children are not involved in the children's center in Munich (at that time under Prof. Dr. Hellbrügge). Then in 1993 she decided to study documentary and television journalism and also dealt with people and more psychological topics in film (final film image and self-image). Thanks to a friend during her pregnancy (1996) she came across the book "In Search of Lost Happiness" by Jean Liedloff, which shaped her "view of the world" in terms of motherhood. From pregnancy onwards, the "Contiuum Concept" served as an orientation in dealing with her daughter Lara, who grew up very close to nature in a bond-oriented manner (1.5 years nursed, born, family bed, ...). Since she experienced daily as a young mother that many parents were afraid to "spoil their child" when they cater to their needs, in 2006 she decided to make a film about "attachment". For her documentary film Allow Closeness, Early Promotion of Parent-Child Binding (2006), she was able to win over the internationally renowned attachment researcher Karl Heinz Brisch, which resulted in intensive collaboration with him. From 2007-2017 she was able to fulfill a dream and promote his wonderful prevention programs SAFE®-Safe Education For Parents and BASE®-Babywatching by creating info films, websites, print media and an information stand at the International Loyalty Conference. Through this 11-year job as a webmaster and online editor and dealing with the topic of "binding", she was able to acquire a deep knowledge of this and collect a pool of topic-related material that will now be used on this information platform. Since 2018, Lydia Oehling has been creating again own media projects with a focus on "attachment promotion" and gives courses at the VHS on the topics "promotion of parent-child attachment" and "effective communication" (after Thomas Gordon "family conference").

There she got a feel for what such bad experiences do with children's souls and the children taught her to understand their behavior. Anke was then able to gain more than seven years of experience in the diagnostic and therapeutic work with children in the area of the nursing service / adoption agency in the youth welfare office. von Haunerschen Children's Hospital (University of Munich) she was able to share her therapeutic experience in a psychosomatic children's ward, under the direction of Dr. med.
