HEALING Attachment in the Body
A 6-Week Somatic Introduction
A limited-time 1:1 exploration into how your early caregiver dynamics influence your adult relational patterns—and how to begin shifting them at the root through nervous system work.
You NOTICE THE Pattern — BUT Why Does It Keep Repeating?
This is for you if you’ve found yourself stuck in the same painful relationship patterns — whether that’s losing yourself completely in a relationship, or avoiding them altogether because every time you start to get close to someone, you feel scared and want to run away.
Maybe you meet someone and catch yourself thinking, “I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never had such an intense connection,” only to find you’ve once again confused “chemistry” with chaos, and what you swore was a “twin flame” connection was actually a painful trauma bond.
You’ve mistaken the high-intensity rollercoaster of push/pull dynamics for love, or you’ve interpreted someone’s emotional unavailability as an invitation to chase — taking it as a challenge to prove you’re lovable.
This is for the part of you that stays in “situationships” hoping that if you just try harder or show up in the right way, one day the other person will want more. The part that has settled for breadcrumbs because even that tiny hit of connection felt better than nothing.
Maybe you’ve noticed that life feels stable when you’re single, but the moment you get into a relationship, everything becomes chaotic, and you end up completely losing yourself until you decide the only way to be happy is to stay single forever.
You crave closeness, but the second someone says, “I love you,” you feel an overwhelming urge to run off to Siberia — and then, when you do pull away to protect yourself, you feel the ache of loneliness.
You get a rush of excitement whenever someone new comes along, excitedly send them a bunch of messages in a row, then end up checking your phone a hundred times a day waiting for their reply, sinking deeper into anxiety the longer you don’t hear back until your stomach is a giant pit of anxiety.
Maybe you get a vulnerability hangover after asking for your needs to be met—or struggle to identify what those needs even are, stuck in the painful gap between recognizing things aren’t working and not being able to imagine what could be better or different.
You may find yourself cycling between overgiving, overthinking, or shutting down completely—until you’re so exhausted you just want to curl up in a Netflix-binging cocoon and hide for several months, before gathering the energy to do it all over again.
You see that healthy, nourishing relationships are possible for other people, but you’re starting to wonder if maybe they’re just not in the cards for you.
You get out of one unhealthy relationship only to find yourself in yet another dynamic that feels more draining than nourishing. You know better — and yet something keeps pulling you back towards the same types of partners and familiar dynamics, even when part of you is screaming, “Don’t do this again!” It’s confusing, frustrating, and lonely, but it’s actually completely understandable when viewed through the lens of attachment in the nervous system.
If you’ve gone to therapy and talked circles around the same themes, but it didn’t help you feel different, and somehow you still find yourself dating emotional replicas of one of your parents, it’s not your fault - working on the cognitive level alone simply isn’t enough to fix issues rooted in the nervous system.
These patterns are signs of early attachment ruptures—moments from your earliest relationships when your needs for safety, attunement, or presence were missed or met with inconsistency. These patterns do not define who you are — they are simply strategies your body developed to protect you and survive disconnection. But here’s the good news: Attachment is flexible, not fixed, and everyone is naturally wired for secure attachment at their core. Which means you can heal these patterns no matter how old and practiced they are. Through attachment-focused somatic sessions, you can gently shift from surviving to more secure relating.
YOU DOn’T HAVE TO STAY STUCK IN THE SAME LOOP.
PATTERNS SHIFT WHEN the Nervous System Does
If you’ve read every John Gottman book on relationships but haven’t physically processed what is stored in your body, your body will still react on autopilot. Those quick-fix “somatic” tips you saw on Instagram might provide temporary relief, but your nervous system will revert to its old responses as soon as you get triggered. That’s because you can’t simply “hack” your way through this — these tools don’t actually address the root causes of what’s happening in your nervous system. And using your intellect will not solve a somatic issue; you have to address it physiologically to do the deeper work necessary to address things at the root level of your earliest adaptations.
Ruptures that occur during early childhood development are experienced, felt, and stored in a non-cognitive part of the nervous system, so meditation and mindset work are simply not enough to heal and change those patterns in a lasting way. Working directly with the nervous system is crucial for supporting healing at the root, where our earliest survival adaptations began. When we resolve things at the nervous system level, external situations and patterns finally begin to change.
What’s been holding you back from creating the changes you’ve been working so hard for is stored deep in the body, and we need to make space for it to be supported in completion and healing so your nervous system can finally feel safe enough to respond differently, instead of running the same old protective patterns.
These 1:1 sessions work on a somatic level, incorporating presence, regulation, relationship, and secure attachment to repair those early ruptures and create an opportunity to reorganize and re-pattern early experiences stored in somatic memory. We work together to increase regulation and address threat responses, providing a deeply supportive container for redesigning those earlier developmental platforms.
Once we’ve brought resolution to what’s stored in your nervous system, you’ll have more capacity to regulate or move through difficult emotions as they arise, respond differently to triggers, stop feeling drawn to the familiar but unavailable partners, and make different choices that lead to safer and more connected relationships. All the work you’ve done up to this point will finally start to come together in an embodied way, and you’ll find yourself showing up in ways that feel more authentic and honoring of yourself and others.
Because we are biologically wired to connect, we are also biologically wired to heal. Regardless of what happened in early childhood or the nature of your relationship experiences, it is possible to restore secure attachment, radically change the dynamics when you’re in conflict, and strengthen your ability to form deep and lasting connections. When we resolve things at the nervous system level, the external situations and patterns finally begin to change.
When we trace back to the earlier moments when you felt unsafe—when your emotions were ignored, invalidated, or shut down, your needs dismissed, comfort withheld instead of given, or love felt unpredictable and out of reach—and in a safe and titrated way (never more than your nervous system can handle at once)—bring those stored memories to completion or resolution with proper support, your body no longer needs to protect itself in the same old ways.
As your system shifts from protection to connection, life doesn’t just feel a little calmer — it begins to look completely different.
The same situations that once left you stuck, shut down, or over-giving start to open up to new possibilities. Instead of defaulting to old patterns, you find yourself responding in ways that bring relief, connection, and choice.
People who used to freeze or shut down in fear start to notice their voice coming back. Speaking up no longer feels impossible — it just happens, without the inner battle that used to silence them. The chronic people-pleaser who once said “yes” to everything now pauses long enough to check in with themselves first. They stop giving at the expense of their own well-being, and the quiet resentment that used to build when others didn’t reciprocate begins to fade.
Those who would betray themselves for the sake of connection and belonging stop chronically self-abandoning and start honoring their true selves, which opens up space for a completely different experience and choices regarding the kinds of relationships they want to pursue, rather than just settling for whatever comes along.
Relationships start to feel different, too. Where there used to be dread when facing difficult personalities, now there’s a grounded ability to set boundaries with real consequences. Instead of tolerating behavior that drains them, clients find themselves establishing clear limits — and with those limits, a new sense of self-respect.
During conflict, instead of reacting automatically or collapsing, there’s more space to pause and choose a different response. A conversation that once would have spiraled into disconnection can instead become a chance for understanding and repair, strengthening the connection.
People who once struggled to identify and articulate their needs or doubted whether their needs even mattered start to gain clarity about what they truly need in a relationship to feel safe and secure. They can clearly name what they need, ask for it directly, and receive it without feeling ashamed. As a result, relationships not only feel safer but also become richer, more honest, and more nourishing than they ever thought possible.
When you address your relational imprints through nervous system healing, what once felt automatic and unchangeable becomes flexible, authentic, and full of choice.
MOVE From PROTECTION INTO CONNECTION
WHAT YOU’ll RECEIVE
INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT
Over six weekly, one-on-one, 60-minute Zoom sessions, we’ll work directly with your nervous system to address the early developmental roots of your attachment patterns. Because everyone has a unique history and nervous system, sessions are customized to meet you exactly where you are.
Real healing only happens when your nervous system feels safe enough to allow it. That’s why everything we do is at the pace and capacity of your own body — never forced or rushed. We go step by step, in a way that lets your system complete what’s been unfinished without overwhelm. The process is both titrated and deeply relational because that’s how lasting healing happens.
Each session combines direct nervous system work with practical relational support, allowing you to integrate the shifts into your real-life challenges. Together we’ll work with what’s most present for you — whether that’s setting boundaries, moving through conflict, repairing ruptures, or opening to new connection — so the shifts you experience in session become lived changes in how you relate.
A BLEND OF THERAPEUTIC SOMATIC APPROACHES
I draw from training in several established somatic trauma therapies, including Somatic Resilience & Regulation, Transforming Intentional Touch, and Dynamic Attachment Repatterning with some components of Somatic Experiencing and parts work. These therapeutic approaches are designed to resolve what’s held in the nervous system, complete survival responses that got stuck, and repair early attachment ruptures.
Our work together will help you to build somatic awareness around what is happening physiologically in the body, connect more deeply to your emotions and increase capacity to navigate discomfort to gently rewire protection into connection.
DETAILED INTAKE AND ASSESSMENT
We begin with a thorough intake to map your early childhood experiences, caregiver dynamics, the attachment adaptations you’ve carried forward, and how they show up in your adult relationships today. This gives us a clear foundation for the healing process while honoring that your adaptations are intelligent survival strategies, not flaws.
PSYCHOEDUCATION
Throughout our work, I’ll weave in education about attachment and the autonomic states of the nervous system so you can understand what’s happening inside you. We’ll explore which early childhood dynamics shaped your present-day patterns, how they influence your behavior, and how to shift toward safety and deeper connection — helping you see how your past shows up in your body today.
SCRIPTS, STRATEGIES, PROMPTS + ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Alongside the work we do in-session, you’ll get practical guidance and tools tailored just to you: ways to work with your attachment adaptations (and your partner’s/friend’s), language for asking for what you need in a way that actually invites it to be met, scripts for tricky boundary moments, strategies for navigating conflict so it deepens connection instead of derailing it, journal prompts to help you process and extra resources on early developmental trauma. These tools help anchor the deeper nervous system work we do together in your everyday relationships and life.

I honestly don’t know yet. This is the first time I’m offering this specific container. If I do run it again, it may look different in structure or format. So if this version speaks to you, I encourage you to sign up by October 10th rather than waiting, because I can’t promise it will be available in this exact way again.
-
No - this is an introductory series of one-on-one sessions. You’ll get my full presence + focus to provide customized support just for you!
-
While it’s ideal to schedule the same day and time each week, there is some room for flexibility to accommodate travel, illness, people who don’t know their work schedule until the week before, and just good ol’ life happening. However, any schedule changes must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
-
I can accommodate time zones across the US/Canada/LATAM and Europe.
-
This work is cumulative — each session builds on the last, creating tangible shifts that add up over time.
Over these six weeks, you may begin to feel more regulated, less triggered, and notice tangible shifts: catching yourself before falling into an old pattern, managing difficult moments more easily, responding or choosing differently, or feeling safer to ask for what you need.
While lasting transformation requires ongoing support, this first step lays the foundation and shows you what’s possible when your nervous system begins to heal.
-
It’s very common to wonder if your patterns are “too much” or if your history is “too severe” to heal. The truth is, somatic work is designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you’ve experienced early attachment ruptures, chronic stress, or significant trauma. Because we’re working with the nervous system itself, we don’t need to re-live or re-tell everything for healing to happen. What matters most isn’t the severity of what you’ve been through, but that we go at the pace your system can safely handle.
As a trauma-trained practitioner in several modalities explicitly designed to support complex (cPTSD) and early developmental trauma, I work in a safe, titrated way — step by step, always guided by what’s showing up in your body. If overwhelm arises, we slow down and meet it with care, so your system can stay supported and contained. Even when the history feels big, your nervous system knows the way when it’s supported gently and consistently.
-
Many people who’ve tried breathwork, meditation, catharsis-based methods, or intense self-guided work sometimes end up feeling retraumatized because the pace or intensity didn’t match what their nervous system could handle—it was “too much, too fast.” This work is different because it focuses on nervous system regulation and is tailored to your system’s needs. We move at a pace you can safely tolerate, gently supporting what arises instead of forcing it. Even when difficult emotions, memories, or triggers show up, you’re met with steady support and attunement so your nervous system can process them without being pushed beyond its capacity. The result is that old patterns begin to resolve at their source—you’re supported in processing and completing what’s stuck in your nervous system, rather than being retraumatized.
-
No — the core of this work happens in the relational container of our 1:1 sessions. Because we are wounded in relationship, we heal in relationship, and you were never meant to do it alone — so you don’t actually need to do anything outside our sessions together to experience changes.
The supplemental resources are available for those who want extra support, but even if you don’t use them, you’ll still experience meaningful shifts from the session work itself. For some people with early developmental trauma, leaning into non-efforting can actually be beneficial — you get to decide what works best for your nervous system.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Before I starting this work, I was navigating the ending of a marriage, shifting monogamous paradigms (and the nervous system responses to that), and struggling with feeling safe to fully express my emotions and needs. I felt overwhelmed, a bit powerless, and confused.. Since starting our sessions, I feel safer to fully express my feelings and my needs, I'm able to access a fuller range of emotions, I feel less afraid to be honest about things that might be hard for someone to hear, and I feel more comfortable setting boundaries."
Katie, Spain
"Before our sessions, I was hesitant about communicating my needs as I felt exhausted afterwards, and my only tool for boundaries was leaving. Now, when setting a boundary and communicating my needs, I feel calm and find it is actually beneficial for me. Regardless of the results, it helps me to better understand the situation. I am not as agitated as I used to be when expressing myself. What surprised me is how much support was available. I am resilient and deal with things mostly by myself. Before this experience, I had never imagined that I could be supported and understood this much."
Mila, Spain
“One somatic session with Suzana did more for me than all the talk therapy I'd done in the past. It was hard to believe how powerful such seemingly gentle work could be. The immediate integration of responding rather than reacting to previously constant triggers was clearly noticeable not only to me, but also to others. Truly grateful for such a simple yet life-changing session.”
