Healing the Longing for Belonging

Uncovering Secure Attachment for Ambivalent Adaptations

A body-based, experiential workshop for understanding ambivalent patterns and cultivating a felt sense of secure connection—with yourself and others.

We begin with the bonus SoulCollage® workshop on February 28, and start Class 1 on March 4, 2026.

Healing Ambivalent Attachment Through Embodied Awareness and Sustainable Connection

Why does closeness still feel uncertain even when love is present?

For many people with ambivalent attachment patterns, the longing for connection is strong and sincere. You may care deeply, invest fully, and want closeness more than anything—yet still find yourself feeling unsettled, anxious, or dissatisfied in relationship. Reassurance is offered, but it doesn’t quite land. Intimacy is there, yet your body stays on edge, scanning for what might shift or disappear.

This can be confusing and exhausting. Especially if you’ve done meaningful self-work already—therapy, reflection, insight—you might wonder why understanding your patterns hasn’t translated into a steadier felt sense of security, or changed how your body responds when connection feels vulnerable or uncertain.

The challenge is that ambivalent attachment isn’t just a set of thoughts, beliefs, or behaviors. It’s a nervous-system pattern that developed in response to inconsistency—times when care, availability, or attunement were present sometimes, and absent at others. Over time, the system learns to stay oriented toward connection through heightened sensitivity, vigilance, and emotional reach. Longing and alertness become intertwined.

Because these patterns are organized in the body, they can’t be resolved through insight alone. True change requires felt experiences that help the nervous system register safety, protection, and connection as real and reliable.

This is the focus of Liz George’s three-part experiential workshop—Healing the Longing for Belonging—beginning March 4, 2026.

TraumaSolutions A person in a white shirt touches a heart-shaped pendant necklace with both hands, showing several rings and bracelets—a quiet moment of self-awareness and connection to body’s wisdom.

Rather than asking you to analyze your attachment patterns from the outside, this series works from the inside out—supporting your nervous system in learning new possibilities for regulation, boundaries, and belonging. 

Across three live sessions, you’ll explore how ambivalent patterns show up in your body and relationships, and engage in guided practices that support a growing sense of steadiness and secure connection.

Whether you’re on a personal healing journey, supporting a partner with ambivalent tendencies, or working clinically with these dynamics, this workshop offers a grounded, non-shaming path toward connection that feels safer, clearer, and more sustainable over time.

What Sets This Training Apart...

Move beyond insight and support secure attachment through direct nervous system experience.

Healing the Longing for Belonging

Uncovering Secure Attachment for Ambivalent Adaptations

3-Session LIVE course beginning March 4, 2026

Build a felt sense of secure attachment—through regulation, boundaries, and connection.

What You Get For Only $79…

Three 90-minute LIVE Experiential and Interactive Training Sessions

Each live session combines clear teaching with embodied exploration, helping you understand ambivalent attachment through direct nervous-system experience. Rather than talking about patterns from a distance, you’ll be guided to notice how regulation, boundaries, and connection show up in your own body and relationships.

Across the three sessions, Liz introduces practical, accessible practices that support steadiness in moments of activation, alongside reflective exercises that deepen awareness over time. Teaching is woven with guided inquiry, and relational reflection, so insights land at both a cognitive and felt-sense level—“in the bones.”

Each class includes space for live Q&A, so you can explore how the work applies to personal healing, relationships, or clinical contexts. The result is a learning environment that is grounded, responsive, and shaped by what emerges in the room.

BONUS Workshop: Embodied Attachment Through SoulCollage®

This live bonus session introduces SoulCollage®, a creative and therapeutic exploration and healing tool developed by Seena Frost. Liz will introduce the SoulCollage® process as a method for deepening embodied learning throughout the course, and a pathway to accessing inner experience without relying on analysis or words—engaging mind, body, heart, and imagination together.

In this guided workshop, Liz will help you through creating your first card, using images to explore attachment patterns and inner resources that support greater regulation and security. You’ll learn the basic principles of the method, experience a guided meditation and reflective prompts, and practice “meeting” your card as a living source of insight.

Each core class in the workshop will then offer a new card prompt, allowing the learning to unfold and integrate over time—visually, somatically, and relationally.

After-Class Group Breakouts & “Put It Into Practice” Exercises

Each live session is followed by guided small-group breakouts, offering space to reflect, share insights, and connect with others who are working with similar patterns.

Participants are invited to reflect from their lived experience of the material and notice how their nervous system responds in connection. These groups are designed to support integration and belonging through relational presence—helping the work land beyond individual insight.

Learn Practical Clinical Skills, Resources, and Techniques

Throughout the course, Liz will share a wide range of practical tools drawn from attachment theory, polyvagal-informed practice, somatic psychology, and relational work. 

Each session includes “Put It Into Practice” reflections and exercises that help translate learning into lived experience, supporting confidence, clarity, and continuity between sessions. Whether for personal healing, relationships, or clinical work, these resources are designed to be adaptable, embodied, and immediately applicable.

Lifetime Access to Video, Audio, Transcripts & Bonuses

If you miss a session or want to revisit a guided practice, demonstration, or group reflection, you can return to the material at any time. Many participants find that revisiting the practices allows new layers of integration to unfold as their nervous system settles and learning deepens.

You can engage the content at your own pace, repeat exercises as often as needed, and continue strengthening regulation, boundaries, and secure connection long after the live sessions conclude.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in Each Live Session

Led by Dr. Liz George, psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), DARe-Certified Provider, and expert in attachment-based relational healing. 

All LIVE sessions meet online for 90 minutes (dates and times listed below)

Session 1: Wednesday March 4, 2026 @ 5 - 6:30 pm MT

Self-Regulation: The Foundation of Secure Attachment

This first class focuses on the ambivalent attachment adaptation and how it commonly shows up in relationships. Participants will explore ventral vagal anchors through discussion and journaling, supporting greater nervous system regulation.

You’ll gain practical, in-the-moment strategies to pause and return to self-regulation when triggered, along with simple daily practices to build resilience over time. You’ll experience embodied practices that support a direct experience of returning to regulation.

The session concludes with discussion and practices focused on creating a secure attachment with Self and developing a reliable inner secure base.

What You’ll Learn:

Session 2: Wednesday March 11, 2026 @ 5 - 6:30 pm MT

Healthy Boundaries and Self-Protection

This session will focus on the role of boundaries in creating a felt sense of safety, particularly for those with an ambivalent attachment adaptation, where boundaries may tend to be porous or inconsistent. You’ll explore how boundary patterns show up in everyday relationships and how these patterns relate to attachment and nervous system regulation.

You’ll learn to identify your own boundary tendencies and  how to establish more protective, supportive boundaries. Liz will guide an embodied practice to create a “competent protector”—an internal resource that supports clarity, protection, and a sense of safety in relational interactions.

You’ll also gain clear, structured communication strategies to support boundaried interactions with others, and practices focused on creating a safe haven within self—a reliable internal place to remain tethered to, or return to, after relational engagement.

What You’ll Learn:

Session 3: Wednesday March 18, 2026 @ 5 - 6:30 pm MT

Developing Self-Connection and Communities of Care

This final session focuses on the third aspect of secure connection: the role of belonging and community in healing attachment patterns. You’ll learn the impact of isolation and disconnection on our health, well-being, and relational resilience, and see how attachment adaptations are shaped not only in close relationships, but across broader spheres of belonging over time.

Dr. George will lead a guided reflection on the different spheres of belonging and how experiences of connection, exclusion, or inconsistency within these spheres have influenced your attachment responses.

An embodied practice supports the creation of an “ally oasis” of inner resources—reliable internal supports that foster grounding, safety, and connection.

Reflections will help you recognize existing sources of support in your external world and explore strategies for building communities of care that align with your needs and capacities.

Join our learning community, and apply attachment, polyvagal, and somatic insights into the healing journey—for yourself, your clients, or someone you love or care for.

Enrollment is open until March 3, 2026

BONUS #1

Guided Workshop: Embodied Attachment Through SoulCollage® with Dr. Liz George

Saturday February 28, 2026 @ 10 am – 12 pm MT

This live and experiential bonus class offers an introduction to the process of SoulCollage® as a new practice for working with attachment. You’ll learn a creative and embodied framework you can draw on throughout the full course, with SoulCollage® prompts given in each class. 

The creative process offers a multimodal way to learn—engaging image, body awareness, reflection, and meaning-making—so key attachment concepts are not just understood, but felt and integrated over time. 

You’ll get an overview of SoulCollage®, its origins, and core principles. Then, Dr. George will guide you through creating your first card—using images to access implicit memory and right-brain processes that support deeper learning and neuroplastic change.

After this class, participants can continue using SoulCollage® practices alongside the course material, allowing insights to deepen and unfold as the workshop progresses.

BONUS #2

Compassionate Communication Strategies for Ambivalent Patterns

A practical, easy-to-use guide for working with ambivalent patterns

This downloadable guide offers clear communication tools for navigating moments of relational urgency—whether you recognize ambivalent patterns in yourself, your partner, or your clients. Grounded in attachment and nervous-system awareness, the handout focuses on reducing escalation, increasing steadiness, and preserving connection without blame or over-explaining.

You’ll find guidance on settling anxious activation, expressing needs clearly without pressure, and building safety through consistency rather than intensity. The strategies and prompts help conversations feel more grounded, supportive, and sustainable—especially during moments when connection feels most vulnerable.

BONUS #3

Guided Audio Practices for Ongoing Support

Return to the practices whenever you need support

All guided experiential practices from the workshop are included as downloadable audio recordings, giving you lifetime access to the tools you learn in real time. These practices are designed to support regulation, grounding, and secure connection—and can be returned to whenever you need support.

Use them at your own pace, as often as needed, to deepen integration and build resilience in everyday life.
