Join Laura Oswald in this workshop to reflect on your attachment style, explore the way in which shifts happens in the attachment system, understand yourself more deeply, and learn about having healthier relationships overall.

Securely attached young children develop ‘secure base scripts’ – the beginnings of early attachment patterns. Their thought, for example might be, "When I am hurting, I go to my mother for comfort.”
Over time, such scripts become ‘stories,’ providing a dependable base to explore and a safe place to return. When children have negligent parents or caregivers – perhaps they are not present or emotionally unavailable – they can form unhelpful attachment patterns. For example, early self-sufficiency may leave individuals unable to develop close relationships and feel lonely later in life.
In this workshop, explore the four attachment styles with corresponding underlying characteristics.
We will begin with a short check-in and grounding meditation to help us all tap into our inner world, paying close attention to sensations and emotions that may surface.
I will speak briefly about Attachment Styles and Somatic Experiencing, explaining some fundamentals of how we attach and offering ways to move toward more secure relationships.
Each participant will then receive a handout that includes descriptions of the four main attachment styles, and we will take time to identify the attachment style that we each resonate with. There will be time to journal and reflect before we open the discussion up to a sharing circle where we will hold space for one another to be seen, heard, and held in our discoveries and inner exploration.
