Learning to Love: Somatic Resolutions for Secure Attachment

A weekend workshop for participants curious about how to move towards secure attachment and are willing to try new things to get there. Led by a relationship therapist who uses somatic interventions, attachment theory and psychoeducation to facilitate an experience for all participants to safely learn and grow. We will meet June 22 & 23 (Saturday & Sunday) in San Diego, CA from 11am-4:30pm. The maximum number of participants is 12.

  • To build somatic and psychological awareness of our attachment triggers a needs, for the purpose of developing self-compassion, which moves outward into compassion for others. Compassion allows us to bring down walls. Self-compassion allows us to be raw and vulnerable as we remind ourselves that is ok to not be ok. Vulnerability is the basis of intimacy, which is the path to secure attachment.

    Secure attachment in our relationships (romantic and otherwise) is a balance of autonomy and connection, also known as interdependence. Security allows us to feel safe, even during conflict, to connect with the other person/people. Through secure attachment, we can have deeper intimacy, more effective conflict resolution, wider connections and a stronger sense of self.
