Cultivating nourishing and satisfying connection is a possibility at any age. Let’s face it – relationships can be challenging, even the best of them. Sometimes, we unwittingly attract the same kind of partners or dynamics with unsatisfying results. This may be due to the relationship templates we are unconsciously using. The healthiest relationships are defined as a Secure Attachment style; they are safe, consistent, loving, playful, and empathetic. These are some of the characteristics described by Attachment Theory experts like Mary Ainsworth, John Bowlby, Stan Tatkin, Dan Siegal, Diane Poole Heller, and countless others.

 

Our work together will aim to adopt congruent, reliable patterns that offer satisfying relationships, with your partners, friends, and associates. The premise of Attachment Theory states that we tend to repeat the patterns we have witnessed in our families of origin and/or early environment. Given the human condition and variety of circumstances, these first points of reference may have been less than ideal.

 

With compassion instead of judgment, we can explore the dynamics of your experience and course-correct, based upon your updated aspirations in relationship. This focus promotes an awareness of default patterns, and an opportunity to cultivate loving, resilient, satisfying relationships that thrive.
