attachment foundations for future parents
Attachment Foundations for Future Parents is a psychoeducational and interpersonal processing group designed for individuals and couples who want to understand attachment before becoming parents. Rather than focusing on techniques or parenting “tips,” this group centers on how attachment develops, how our own attachment histories shape parenting, and how intentional awareness can interrupt unhelpful cycles before they begin.
how this group is different
This is not a traditional parenting class focused on strategies, scripts, or behavioral tools.
This group takes a trauma-informed, interpersonal approach to understanding attachment before becoming a parent.
Attachment does not develop in a vacuum. It is shaped by early relationships, environment, and lived experiences — including stress, loss, and trauma. This group creates space to explore how those experiences may have shaped participants’ own attachment patterns, nervous systems, and expectations of relationships, and how those patterns can show up in parenting.
In addition to psychoeducation, the group emphasizes reflection, shared discussion, and relational processing. Participants are invited (never required) to share their experiences, notice patterns together, and learn not only from the material, but from one another. The group itself becomes part of the learning — offering opportunities for insight, normalization, and repair in real time.
Rather than aiming for “perfect parenting,” this group focuses on awareness, regulation, and intention — helping future parents understand themselves more fully so they can approach caregiving with flexibility, compassion, and relational safety.
