About this workshop:
Are you caught in a cycle of challenging or toxic relationships? Whether in friendships or romantic partnerships, do you find yourself struggling to understand or cope with recurring patterns? These experiences may be rooted in attachment trauma.
Join host and licensed psychotherapist Meghan Watson for an exploration of relational trauma, attachment in relationships and its connection to human growth and development. Together, we will explore how our early relationship experiences impact us throughout our lives. Reflections, skills, and tools will be shared along the way to help you identify your personal attachment patterns, relevant attachment wounds, explore attachment related triggers, and learn strategies to heal.
Important notes:
- The session will not be recorded, but the slides will be shared.
- Participation will be via Zoom chat. There will not be breakout rooms.
- Closed captioning can be enabled.
Optional post-workshop group connection session
Curious about diving deeper into the material from the workshop? Interested in smaller, more intimate discussions on the topic? Join us for a post-workshop group connection session. Capped attendance (maximum 20 people) will offer space to foster meaningful dialogue, allow time to talk with Meghan about the material, and discuss further reflection and growth.
Participants can expect to:
-Process personal experiences and insights through further discussions.
-Explore the nuances of the topics, with examples and case studies from Meghan for richer context.
-Continue engaging through reflective prompts — designed to build stronger connections to the material.
Note: These sessions are designed to be interactive and discussion-driven, focusing on conversation rather than formal presentations.
