Somatic Focused Attachment Repair Workshop
A Guided Meditation Workshop to 'Regress' Back to Old Preverbal Memory 'Fragments' that Are Held Somatically and Heal Them
Half-day Online Meditation Workshop- Date: Sunday, 21st Jul 2024
- Instructor: Cedric Reeves
- Cost: Sliding scale $30 ~ $120
Join us for this workshop where we will do a series of attachment repair meditations to find, understand, and process early memory ‘fragments’ that are usually held somatically or preverbally. Unresolved memories of threat in which we were not protected or comforted contribute disproportionately to adult psychopathology and insecure attachment. We will access these old memories somatically, emotionally, and cognitively, understand them, and process them with the support of the Perfect Nurturers/Ideal Parents.
The intended outcome is to identify, understand, and heal our preverbal memories of threat, abandonment fear, helplessness, and rejection. We'll place particular emphasis on the somatic memories associated with them and process and heal those memories.
This program is for people who suspect they have preverbal experiences that continue to affect them now as adults. This workshop is especially relevant for people who have somatic conditions (ticks, insomnia, bowel problems, etc).

- For anyone who wants to go from insecure to secure attachment.

workshop Overview
This program is suitable for beginners to meditation and healing work.
The first hour of the workshop will be review that covers the basics of Attachment Theory and Attachment Repair. If you have taken other courses with attachmentrepair.com you can skip the first hour.
Ignoring ‘free-floating’ pre-verbal, somatic, and incomplete memories is a common blind spot for people on the path of healing from our past. Yet, this is important and also easier to address than most realize.
In this course, we will
- discuss the importance of early early preverbal memories/memory fragments
- how to access them (and the obstructions/stumbling blocks around accessing them)
- work to investigate and understand them them
- integrate them.
By integrating these early memories we will move towards freeing ourselves from subconsciously acting out the old habits patterns that these experiences/memories have caused. We’ll do this primarily through guided attachment repair meditation.
This course is relevant for anybody with insecure attachment. Ignoring preverbal memories is common to all types of insecure attachment.
This course draws from:
- Ideal Parent Figure Protocol
- Schema Therapy
- Coherence Therapy
- Attachment Theory
Please note that this meditation course is meditation focused. This course is not group therapy.
