Be Yourself — Even Attached

Authentic, Anchored, Alive is a Meetup for people who want to be themselves — even in attachment.

Many people arrive here having done meaningful personal growth work. You may have read the books, explored therapy, or taken any number of self-assessments — and still find yourself reacting under stress, over-functioning, shutting down, or recreating familiar relationship dynamics.

You’re not alone.

This group is for people who are ready to change the patterns they understand but still feel stuck repeating. It is a learning space for those who are self-aware and motivated, yet seeking real, embodied change — not just insight.

Our approach
This Meetup introduces Integrated Attachment Theory (IAT) — a practical, nervous-system–informed approach to attachment that focuses on how patterns operate in the present and what allows them to change over time.
We explore how early attachment and relational learning shape:

• the way you think under stress
• how you relate to others
• the choices you make when your system is activated

Rather than endlessly analyzing the past, IAT works with neuroplasticity — the brain and nervous system’s capacity to learn new responses — so you can build relationships and a life that feel safe, coherent, and real now.

What this group is — and isn’t
This is not therapy and not a support group for venting or emotional processing.
It is a learning space for people who want to become more secure, self-trusting, and regulated in real life, with respect for autonomy, pacing, and nervous system safety.

Participation is always optional, and you are welcome to engage at your own pace.
