Embracing Secure Attachment
Self-Compassion and relationship skills for The Neurodiverse
A 12-week, evidence-based course for individual and couples who've already done the reading, the therapy, the self-work , and are ready to actually change patterns and feel different.
20+ Years of Clinical Research, in One Course
This isn't theory. It's two decades of clinical work with some of the most underserved populations in mental health, plus original research presented internationally alongside leading voices in attachment, sexuality, and self-compassion.

Built for People Who Are Done Coping
You've been in therapy. You've read the books. You can name your patterns.
What's still missing is the felt sense of being different — in your body, in your relationships, in the moments that used to feel impossible.
This course is for:
Neurodivergent adults carrying attachment wounds entangled with years of masking
High-achievers whose success hasn't translated into the connection they actually want
People with attachment trauma ready for nervous system change, not just insight
Couples done working on problems and ready to build something new
Anyone who wants structure — daily 5–20 minute practices, weekly teaching, clinical depth
What Kind Of Things will I learn in this course:
Self compassion and somatic-based practices to help build a foundation of grounding and self focus.
Identifying nervous system patterns such a fight-flight-freeze-flee-flock and learning new responses
Balancing inward focused attention and outward focused attention
How to regulate when we are dysregulated
Identifying schemas and protective patterns that keep you stuck (safe)
How to connect through conflict
How to understand your needs and meet them
Exploring co-regulation through sex therapy practice
Creating a practical and skill-based foundation for deeper intimacy and connection

Group settings can feel daunting, especially with attachment wounds around belonging. But the group is exactly where the deepest work becomes possible. Being witnessed by others walking the same path is something solo practice cannot replicate.
Common humanity becomes felt, not just understood
Co-regulation is real — nervous systems learn safety from other nervous systems
The first cohort will be deliberately small to protect the intimacy of the container.

Your Questions, Answered
-
No. It's a psychoeducational course, not clinical treatment. Many participants use it alongside their existing therapy.
-
Yes — many find it deepens their work. Share the material with your therapist if you'd like to integrate it together.
-
Both. Designed for individuals, but couples have taken it together with strong results — Module 3 especially.
-
The course is trauma-informed and gently paced. If you're in an acute processing phase, talk to your therapist about timing.
-
You move at your own pace with lifetime access. Live Q&A sessions are scheduled periodically and recorded.
-
That's normal. The course works with underlying nervous system patterns, not labels.
