Many people suffer from emotional disruptions in early family life that make it difficult to feel safe in intimate relationships and challenging to develop rewarding, longterm 

romantic partnerships as adults. Drawing on attachment theory, Gestalt practice, somatic awareness and expressive arts, this workshop is designed to help you:

• Identify your attachment issues
• Develop awareness of trauma-based responses, ambivalence, and avoidance
• Recognize physical constriction and body language that send non-verbal stay away messages
• Demystify the process of approaching and feeling comfortable with others
• Develop assertiveness and flexible boundaries
• Reach past doubt and anxiety to expand your inner and outer resources and risk connecting with others
