Chasing the Spark: A Somatic Look at Attraction & Attachment

This session is presented as a live stream, offering a gentle, low-demand way to explore somatic healing.

Have you ever wondered why you feel intensely drawn to certain people—even when the relationship feels confusing, destabilizing, or hard to sustain?

Why some connections feel electric at first… but painful over time?
In this experiential, body-based session, we’ll explore attraction and attachment through the lens of the nervous system, not psychology alone.

Rather than asking “What’s wrong with me?”
We’ll gently ask, “What does my body recognize as familiar?”

Many of us learned very early what closeness feels like—through family dynamics, emotional availability (or lack of it), and survival patterns that formed before we had words. Those early imprints often shape who we’re drawn to as adults, especially when chemistry feels intense or hard to walk away from.

This session is about bringing compassionate awareness to those patterns.

What We'll Explore

• Why “the spark” can sometimes be a nervous-system response rather than true safety
• How attachment patterns live in the body, not just the mind
• The difference between excitement, familiarity, and regulation
• How your body learned what love feels like—and why it keeps repeating certain dynamics

This is not about analyzing past relationships or labeling yourself.
It’s about noticing, feeling, and beginning to understand your body’s responses to closeness and connection.

We’ll move slowly, with optional reflection and gentle somatic awareness. You’re welcome to simply listen and receive.

Format & Nervous System Support
This session will be offered as a live, private YouTube stream and recorded. You’ll be able to access the replay using the same link after the live has ended. This format is intentionally chosen to support nervous system safety and somatic healing — allowing you to stay present without being seen or needing to participate. There are no cameras, no chat, and nothing required of you. You’re welcome to listen, rest, or experience whatever arises, in your own time and in your own way.

This session focuses on awareness.
For those who feel ready to go further, I’ll also be offering a follow-up Eventbrite workshop, Trauma Bonded Relationships: Why Love Feels So Hard to Leave, where we focus on change—gently exploring trauma bonds in the body and beginning to soften the survival patterns that keep us emotionally attached to painful relationships.
