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: Tuesday, November 24, 2026 @ 5 - 6:30 pm MT

Safe Enough in the Here and Now

The first session begins with a fundamental question: What helps us recognize that we are safe enough right now?

When disorganized attachment has developed, the nervous system may have learned to associate connection with both comfort and threat. An implicit memory can activate an old alarm before we consciously recognize what has happened.

Liz will introduce the concept of a safe haven and explore how we can begin creating one within ourselves while learning to recognize when a person or relationship may also offer relative safety.

This work includes noticing the support and resources available in the present, even when an old alarm feels strong. Rather than expecting all discomfort to disappear, we’ll begin recognizing moments of “safe enough” and what helps us feel more supported within them.

You’ll learn to notice the signs that a threat response has been triggered and develop practical ways to return to yourself, orient toward the present moment, and allow the body to move through the stress cycle rather than remaining caught within it.

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

Creating a Healthy Sense of Protection

Once we can begin orienting toward relative safety, the next step is strengthening our capacity for healthy protection.

For many people with disorganized attachment histories, experiences of power may have become associated with danger, helplessness, domination, or unpredictability.

Liz will explore what has sometimes been called the “power wound” and help participants distinguish harmful expressions of power from the grounded strength that allows us to protect ourselves and establish healthy boundaries.

You’ll explore the Healthy Warrior archetype—qualities of strength, leadership, discernment, and protection that can become internal resources.

Through embodied practice, you’ll experiment with feeling healthy power in the body and sensing the support available within a protective boundary.

You’ll also begin identifying the competent protectors, sentinels, strengths, and resources that may already exist within you and around you—even if they have previously been difficult to recognize.

Session 3: Wednesday, December 9, 2026 @ 5 - 6:30 pm MT

Building a Secure Base for Safe Enough Connection

With a growing sense of relative safety and healthy protection, we can begin exploring another essential attachment experience: having a secure base.

A secure base gives us somewhere to return—to ourselves and, increasingly, to trustworthy relationships.

Liz will guide you through resourcing practices designed to strengthen this foundation within yourself first.

You’ll work with the Essential Self: the healthy adult part of you that can offer nurturing, protection, guidance, and care to younger wounded parts that may still be carrying experiences from the past.

From this more grounded internal foundation, you’ll begin exploring how to recognize people and communities that may offer a secure base—and how communication can gradually build trust and allow relationships to move into a deeper circle of belonging.
