Testimonial #12

I had weekly sessions with Dr Zack Bein from August 2023 to September 2024, using the Three Pillars method of Adult Attachment Repair. The work we did together in those 13 months treated issues - anxiety, depression, low energy - that 16 years of therapy using other modalities (CBT, ACT, DBT, IFS and Somatic Experiencing) didn't address.

Some of the benefits I've experienced are:
- remission of depression
- less anxiety
- more energy
- confidence to ask for what I need and want
- confidence to express disagreement
- able to show up for and be more comfortable in professional, personal and intimate relationships
- not losing hours or days to being stuck in anxiety & depression
- dramatic improvement in the quality and quantity of my work as an engineer

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Zack Bein and the Three Pillars method of Adult Attachment Repair.

Testimonial #11

I trained with Dr Bein in the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol and found the experience quite edifying. Besides being genuinely supportive with real warmth and personal care, Dr Bein is expert in this modality, providing tips, practice sessions, and advice that only comes from years of experience. This information and training is hard to find and immensely valuable, both as an experience and education.

Testimonial #10

As a trauma specialist often working in the areas of CPTSD and attachment traumas, I was thrilled to find Dr. Zack as both a therapist and trainer in Three Pillars therapy and the Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) protocol.  Zack offers detailed and knowledgeable discussion of attachment theory, screening methods and the skillful delivery of the IPF protocol.  His teachings are clear and delivered in a grounded and present manner.  I highly recommend him as a therapist, supervisor and trainer.

Testimonial #9

"I have been working with Josh at The Adult Attachment Program using the IPF Protocol for 10 months. I was able to identify and make incredible progress in my attachment issues and have seen nothing short of profound results. I cannot recommend IPF via The Adult Attachment Program enough. Josh is an excellent coach who seems to effortlessly guide our sessions. I end every one of them with new insight and lasting positive impression. My life is immeasurably more positive and my gratitude is boundless."

I have been working with Zack for about 4 months now and have seen an incredible change in myself - a huge reduction in stress and anxiety, more energy, and significantly more day to day happiness and desire to go after and achieve my goals. The method we have been using has been the only thing that has succeeded in shifting my mental state in this way - despite having tried several therapies before. I really believe that I've found an answer here to what I was looking for previously. Thanks so much Zack!

Testimonial #7

Excellent therapy. Zack has a deep understanding of attachment dynamics and has applied his method to stimulate profound experiences of healing in me. I find him genuine, warm and empathic.

Testimonial #6

I am a long time participant in counseling, I have even tried EMDR in the past…but this approach has been life changing for me. Granted you get back what you put in, as with really any type. BUT Zack and team are really great and knowledgeable. I wish I found this sooner.

Testimonial #5

Zack is a kind, attuned, empathic therapist. I've been working with him using Ideal Parent Figure protocol for a few years now, and it has changed my life for the better, more so than any other modality/system I've used. Zack has a very unique skillset, due to his IPF training, attachment theory expertise, and meditation background. Highly recommend.

Testimonial #4

"I am so grateful to Dr. Bein and the three pillars practice. This practice has proven transformative in my relationship to myself and others. I cannot recommend The Adult Attachment Program enough. If we repair our attachment wounds, we could alleviate so much suffering in the world."

Testimonial #3

Dr. Zach Bein has exceptional knowledge in the field of attachment theory. He combines his knowledge of attachment theory with mindfulness through the 3 pillars model. This work is very aligned with other heavyweights in the field of childhood development such as Dr. Gabor Mate and Dr. Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory. Zach's deep understanding that mind and body are connected are pivotal in helping heal old wounding. If you're looking for someone who can help make sense of your anxiety, of how your mind works, or why you hold onto certain beliefs, I can't recommend a better practitioner of attachment restoration.

Testimonial #2

I've been working with Dr. Zach and his Adult Attachment Program for the past 9 months and my attachment insecurity, sense of self, and overall mental health has been transformed! When I came into the program I had daily attachment anxiety and most of my energy was being used just to keep my anxieties at bay. And without a strong sense of self, I was also struggling to find a sense of meaningful direction in life - to know who I am and what I want. Although I'm not done with the work yet, I can typically calm attachment anxieties or disrupting states of mind quickly. And my sense of self has developed significantly to the point where I have a strong direction in life and I'm excited about the training I'm doing now to help others. I highly recommend Ideal Parent Figures coaching, Dr. Zach, and the Adult Attachment Program!

The Adult Attachment Program’s Level I Foundational Course 

A Deep Exploration into the Attachment Patterns that are Preventing you from Knowing, Being, and Loving your True Authentic Self.

 

Attachment patterns are learned; often in the first 24 months of life, before you had even developed verbal memory.  The level of comfort that you feel when you’re close with someone, the degree that you value and prioritize romantic intimacy in your life, the level of self-esteem and self-confidence that you have, the belief that your needs matter and that you can get those needs met in this lifetime… Even whether you are the one that makes the decision for the group or if you stay back and keep to yourself, they all are directly influenced by your attachment style.  And they often exist at a pre-conscious level of thinking; just at the edge of your fingertips.  You can see the patterns acting themselves out in our life and in your relationships, but they just seem so hard to change.  Insecure attachment may be at the bottom of this.

  • Developed by Brown and Elliot (2016) the Three Pillars model for healing attachment disturbances in adults has become quite popular amongst clinicians. This model was intended to offer a comprehensive way to resolve the structural core of attachment insecurity by restructuring and re-mapping the internal working model of attachment in clients using imagined ideal parent figures, guided by the five conditions that create secure attachment (now the 3rd pillar). Often by this process alone, the client begins strengthening several developmental capacities that were impeded by the insecure upbringing (Elliot, 2021). Two specific capacities that are often not nurtured in children with insecure attachment styles are the development of metacognitive capacity (2nd pillar) and enhancing collaborative abilities (1st pillar). This course will explain the theory and practice of Three Pillars therapy and IPF using videos, powerpoint presentations, articles, and supplemental readings and exercises.
