Welcome to The Science of Relationships! My name is Dr. Zack Bein. I am a psychologist and wellness coach in the Los Angeles area. This workshop will consist of 8 online zoom meetings, every other week, and a 30 minute “mentoring” session with one of the teachers in-between sessions.

What about schedule? For the Level 1 workshop, we will meet every other Saturday, starting on November 2, 2022.This is a 16-week intensive workshop consisting of 8 online sessions, 2 hours in length, every other Tuesday from 3:00 – 5:00 pm Pacific Standard time., starting on Tuesday, Nov 1st. Class will begin with some introductions, and then we ill get right into the material. While the nuances and aesthetics of this workshop group are not complete, we are OPENING for early registration! Now is the time to reserve your spot in this transformative experience which, i can only imagine, is going to fill up very quickly. We would like to limit the class to 20 people, and even that is alot of people.

The tentative schedule for classes is: 11/1, 11/15, 11/29, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7.

Each class is conducted online on a secure telehealth server. Classes will be live streamed and also recorded for those who, for one reason or another, or unable to attend a particular session.

In the period of time between sessions, you will be scheduled for one online one-on-one mentoring sessions with either Dr. Zack or Josh. These 30 minute “mentoring” periods are a rare and precious time for students to receive help on their path, or different strategies to work with whatever is afflictive in the moment.

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.

The Adult Attachment Program

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.

“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!

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 #6

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 #5

“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 #4

The Adult Attachment Program

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 #3

The Adult Attachment Program

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!

For decades I have struggled with what I’ve called “wounded conditioning” around relationship. Even after years of therapy and spiritual practices I couldn’t get past my struggles with feeling safe and comfortable in connection. I would sometimes fall into painful despair. Then while on a retreat at IMS a Dharma teacher gave an explanation of Attachment Theory and a description of a new healing modality. It glowed brightly, and I moved from the darkness towards this light. Eventually the journey led to The Adult Attachment Program. The healing has been profound, and I have the deepest gratitude for what is being provided here. The guided IPF visualizations have allowed for a primordial intelligence to operate through the mind’s eye and address the “wounded conditioning” at the level the wounds were created. We can leave new loving imprints on our Psyche and work with a sort of neuroplasticity to heal. There is growing insight into areas that were once only dark and confusing. I am so grateful for finding my way to the Adult Attachment Program. I used to think that perhaps I was truly “broken” but It’s not true. I’m now connecting with others in the ways I have always longed for.
