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 ways we bonded with our caregivers in childhood --and other intense and repeated relationship experiences-- are often replayed unconsciously in the psycho-social, emotional, and behavioral qualities 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 and fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others.
Each [MeetUp.com](http://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.

•OnlineRewire Your Brain's Inner Search Engine for Love, Safety and Peace
OnlineYou keep having the same thoughts, fears, emotions, worries, experiences, conflicts, etc. There’s a reason. It’s not your fault — it’s your attachment software. And once you understand how the software in your brain’s “search engine” works, you can reprogram it to find what you actually want in your precious life: love, safety, satisfaction and peace.
In this 90-Minute Interactive Webinar, 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. Further, 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.

•Online💞 The Sweet Spot of Secure Connection: Neither Cold nor Clingy
OnlineDo you ever feel “too much” or “not (good) enough” in love? These painful doubts often come from the unmet emotional needs of an insecure attachment style that keep us off balance — and push us to chase, avoid, or shut down.
In this live 90-minute session, we’ll do a deep dive into the difference between needs required for basic survival and needs that enable humans to thrive; in the context of wants, and non-negotiables. When our needs and our partner’s needs are truly met, it is much easier to find the sweet spot of connection — where self-respect and intimacy coexist.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify your Attachment Style and how it shapes your needs.
- Explore the six categories of human needs that drive thriving with self and in connection.
- Assess how well your current needs are being met in the context of wants and non-negotiables.
- Practice a live exercise with other participants to strengthen emotional awareness.
- Join an open Q&A with Melissa Stone, PhD, founder of AttachmentPathway.com.
Join us to shift from anxious or avoidant patterns into the calm confidence of secure love. 💗
👉 Register to save your spot, so that you can start finding your balance — neither cold nor clingy, but securely connected.
