A 6-week journey outlining the roadmap from a physiology of anxiety, survival and disease to a physiology of safety, security, and health. We will be looking at attachment and neurodevelopment through a new integrated lens that provides a way to repair and rewire at any age.
These attachment pains form when our early childhood needs are not met, and they create an early programming that becomes our operating system for the rest of our lives.
It affects our health. It affects our relationships. And it affects our lives in more ways than we might realize.
Many of us have a baseline of anxiety, or numbing, or living from the chronic freeze state that comes from this early childhood attachment pain.
It’s time to learn how to rewire this early programming — away from a programming for disease and trauma, and toward a rewiring of health, connection, and resilience.
Biology that keeps us stuck in an insecure attachment
If you notice patterns in your relationships, persistent feelings of unworthiness, or feel like quality depth of relationships has been lacking, it is time to rewire your early attachment patterns.
Attachment pain stores itself in the body, and until we can learn to safely work through it, it can continue to affect our biology on a cellular level for years to come.
Maybe you have been working on your trauma response and have uncovered early attachment pain. When you come to this place in your journey, working through your attachment pain is the best next step.
We are going to be diving deep into identifying what types of attachment pain are showing up in present-day life patterns. Whether in health, relationships, our professional career, and more, we need to identify what attachment needs were not met at an early age.
The nervous system is formed through many influences. By understanding this process, we can address what went wrong and led to maladaptive patterns later in life. This also shows us a clear path forward - a way to rewire for the health and resilience we desire!
Learn how to address the attachment pain and unmet core needs from early childhood. Learn how to reprogram and rewire the early programming so you can cultivate a life of resilience, health, and connection.
We’ve laid it all out for you so you can identify attachment pain and know exactly how to address and rewire the early programming.

Stephen W. Porges, Ph.D. is Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, and Professor Emeritus at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland.
He served as president of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse.
In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation (Norton, 2011), The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe, (Norton, 2017), co-editor of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (Norton, 2018) and author of Polyvagal Safety: Attachment, Communication, Self-Regulation (Norton 2021). Dr. Porges is the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol ™ (SSP), which is used by therapists to improve social engagement, language processing, and state regulation, as well as to reduce hearing sensitivities.
