Level I - The SCIENCE of Relationships -
Discover and Resolve the Attachment Patterns that are Preventing you from Being Truly Authentic in your Relationships and in Your Life. 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.

Level II - 3 Pillars Therapy and Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) Mastery
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). We will be continuing our Case Consultation Series in Three Pillars Therapy and Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) imagery! Now called Integrative Attachment Therapy, this class is in response to the numerous calls for further investigation and training into the Three Pillar Model for healing attachment disturbances in adults; famously introduced in the Dan Brown and David Elliott text, “Healing Attachment Disturbances in Adults.” This group will be open to anyone that is either actively working with clients or patients with the three pillars model and IPF, or that hopes to begin to do so. We will be presenting cases so you’ll get real-time feedback and engage with real cases. This group will be done in a series of 5 sessions, each costing $85 and lasting 90 minutes in length. The fee for all 5 sessions in the series will be collected prior to the group commencing, and ideally before March 1, 2025 to ensure your seat. We will also be doing an early registration discount so you can purchase the series for $350 for a limited time. If you need to set up a payment program in installments, just let us know and we can arrange that as well. The group will consist of 30 or so minutes of didactic presentation on a three pillars topic, followed by case presentations, consultation, and supervision. It is common for people to have to miss at least 1 group, so each session is fully recorded for those that have to miss a week. This group is ideal for clinicians (social workers, MFTs, coaches, psychologists, psychiatrists, interns) who already have some experience with the 3 Pillars model and wish to refine their knowledge and skill with the most up-to-date information about, Integrative Attachment Therapy (IAT) and attachment repair. ***Prerequisites*** -You have some baseline clinical training in Attachment Theory and/or Adult Attachment, and either currently do or intend to start doing Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) (Integrative Attachment Therapy) with your clients and/or patients or -You’ve taken our Level I Self-Paced Training and passed the online assessment. You can register for these online courses at our new training website The Schedule will Have 2 Options, a Saturday and a Thursday

Clinical Use of the Adult Attachment Interview
Called the “most important assessment of attachment styles in the last 20 years, the AAI has been infamously labeled as the “gold standard” assessment. It has created a culture of confusion and miscommunication about how and when to use this instrument. This brief course will give you a clinical understanding of the AAI and its findings and how to properly, collaboratively, and ethically share results with clients and patients. April 4, 2025 - April 6, 2025 11:00 AM PST - 3:00 PM PST Friday thru Sunday

Level II - The 3-Pillar Method of Healing Attachment Disturbances
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.
