What we’re about
When Attachment Theory was first introduced in the last century, researchers identified four distinct Attachment Styles to describe how children related emotionally and behaviorally to their caregivers.
Later studies deepened this understanding: much like DNA encodes the blueprint for how our bodies replicate at the cellular level, our Attachment Style encodes the blueprint for how we replicate relational dynamics. The characteristics of the bonds we learned from our caregivers in early childhood --and from other intense and repeated relationship experiences-- are often replayed unconsciously in the psycho-social, emotional, and behavioral characteristics of our adult relationships.
The encouraging news is that, unlike DNA, our Attachment Style is not fixed. With increased awareness, new skills and intentional practice, we can revise our attachment styles, move toward secure attachment; and create healthier, more balanced, present and fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others.
Each MeetUp.com event hosted by the Attachment Pathway will explore one of the many elements of Attachment Styles in a group format and will host questions and answers at the end.

•OnlineSecure, Not Sorry: The Hidden Power of Emotional Stability
OnlineAll of us know people with a Secure Attachment Style*: They are the ones who seem to glide through life smiling, finding everything to be easy and comfortable -with no drama, and more laughs. They tend to work and play well with others, have happy long-term relationships, manage conflict effectively, live well without holding grudges. Have you ever wished you could be more like that? What is their secret?
You'll learn how to:
· Identify what is different about having a secure attachment style compared to insecure attachment style.
· Understand the connections between beliefs, thoughts, emotions and actions.
· Uncover the ways we repeatedly reinforce our attachment-related beliefs, even when they are outdated.
· Engage in a live experiential exercise with other participants to integrate what you have learned.
· Ask your burning questions in an open Q&A with Melissa Stone, PhD, founder of Attachment Pathway.[*If you want to know your Attachment Style(s), take the free, private 5-minute quiz at AttachmentPathway.com]

•OnlineRewire Your Brain's Inner Search Engine for Love, Safety, Satisfaction and Peace
OnlineYou keep attracting the same patterns — thoughts, worries, emotions, experiences, relationships, conflicts, etc. There’s a reason. It’s not your fault — it’s your attachment wiring. And once you understand how your brain’s “search engine” works, you can reprogram it to find what you actually want: love, safety, satisfaction and peace.
In this 90-minute live session, you’ll explore the neuroscience behind attachment and discover how to retrain your Reticular Activating System — the mental filter that shapes what (and who) you notice in life.
You’ll learn how to:
· Identify your attachment style and decode the beliefs that keep you looping in the same patterns.
· Understand how those beliefs formed and how to transform them into secure, empowering ones.
· Use your brain’s search engine to attract emotionally healthy people and experiences to you.
· Practice a live guided exercise to integrate the shift immediately.
· Join an open Q&A with Melissa Stone, PhD, founder of AttachmentPathway.com.[*If you want to know your Attachment Style(s), take the free, private 5-minute quiz at AttachmentPathway.com; and listen to the Attachment Pathway Podcast on Spotify and Podcast Addict]
