Connect Workshops🔗

Good morning and welcome to the next course.

Every 4th month will be a re-run of a course for those that could not make the first time it was run - this is a community need that has been expressed.

This attachment course, looks at your attachment style and how this impacts you and your relationships.

Attachment links beautifully into how:
(1) we push people away, avoid and/or withdraw from others for perhaps the fear of trusting others and getting hurt
(2) pull for closeness, become needy and smother others for perhaps the fear of abandonment.

We will work on how the push-pull process works and how to manage your own behavior in order to improve your relationships and move to a more secure attachment style.

Hope to see you there.

✅️ Please note at any time if you would like to be removed from this group, you can reply and let us know and we will do so promptly.

Hope you have a lovely month of connecting and developing 🔗
