Love is an interesting topic. Don’t you agree?
Who do you love?
Who loves you?
Do you like to be close to the people you love?
Can you feel comforted by them? If they comfort you, can you feel soothed?
“Attachment is the deep, recurring, reciprocal, and biologically based connection created between babies and primary caregivers.” – Myrna Martin
Did you know that the attachment relationship holds our beliefs about:
-
Our lovableness
-
Our safety in the world
-
Our parents’ ability to protect
-
Our sense of inherent value
In the It’s About Love 2 Online Course, we dive deeper into each of these love-related questions that are tied to our capacity for attachment, as well as how our attachments impact our beliefs.
“Margery has a beautiful gift for creating safe, sacred space to help others drop deeply in with themselves. She brings a loving, compassionate presence, a playful spirit, and a creative passion to all she does. Margery’s wealth of knowledge, skill, and expertise has offered me many opportunities for new insights, discoveries, and wisdom that have inspired many areas of my life.”
– Elissa Shapiro, LCSW and Movement Facilitator

exercises.
Module 2: Love is an interesting topic, right?

This module, we will begin to look at our relational styles and preferences through a combination of lectures, heartfelt conversations, and experiential exercises.
