Understand how your earliest relationships shaped your nervous system - and learn practical tools to create healthier connection patterns today.
In this 3-hour workshop, you will explore the neuroscience of attachment through a polyvagal lens. You'll discover why you respond the way you do in relationships, identify your attachment style (secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganised), and learn somatic practices to regulate your nervous system when old patterns get triggered.
This workshop blends education with embodied practice. You will leave with a clear understanding of your attachment patterns, awareness of how they show up in your body, and practical nervous system tools you can use immediately.
What you will learn:
* The 3 nervous system states and how they relate to attachment
* The 4 attachment styles and their origins
* How to identify your attachment pattern and recognise it in real time
* Why anxious and avoidant people are drawn to each other (and how to break the cycle)
* Somatic regulation practices for when your attachment system activates
* How to respond from your values rather than your survival patterns
What's included:
* Comprehensive workshop handout
* Attachment style self-assessment
* Body mapping exercise
* Guided somatic practices
* Integration time for reflection
This workshop is educational, not therapeutic. It is suitable for anyone wanting to understand their relationship patterns and build nervous system capacity for healthier connection.
No previous experience with somatics or polyvagal theory required - just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
