Men's Work
Men's Attachment
Repair Groups
A structured group process for men who are competent, responsible, and exhausted by how hard it is to stay that way.
16-Week Attachment Repair Cohort
What this is
You function well professionally. You're dependable. People count on you. But relationships feel harder than they should. You withdraw when conflict arises. You solve problems instead of staying present. You feel more comfortable alone than vulnerable.
This isn't about becoming a "better man." It's about repairing the attachment patterns that keep you from being fully present, connected, and alive in your relationships.
You're a good fit if you:
- —Are 30–60 years old
- —Are professionally successful but relationally struggling
- —Are a father who wants to break generational patterns
- —Are in a relationship strained by emotional unavailability
- —Are willing to be vulnerable in a group of men
- —Can commit to 16 weeks without missing sessions
Specifically for men who:
- —Withdraw or shut down during conflict
- —Over-function at work, under-function at home
- —Feel more comfortable solving problems than feeling feelings
- —Were raised with dismissive or anxious attachment
- —Want their kids to have better than they got
- —Are tired of performing competence while feeling empty

The structure
16 consecutive weeks — 90 minutes per session, 8–10 men per cohort, Tuesdays 7–8:30pm PST.
Each session includes: brief check-in, short teaching on attachment and development, guided Ideal Parent Figure visualization (20–30 minutes), group integration and reflection, and a practice assignment.
Between sessions: daily 10-minute IPF practice, optional peer accountability partnerships, and access to guided audio recordings.
What makes this different
Not therapy-in-a-group
The group itself is the therapeutic agent. Men witnessing each other's vulnerability creates the safety to go deeper.
Not a men's social circle
It's clinical attachment repair using a structured protocol. There's homework, commitment, and real work.
Not performance-based
You're not learning to "be a secure man." You're repairing the nervous system patterns that prevent security from emerging naturally.
Research-backed
The Ideal Parent Figure Protocol has evidence supporting its effectiveness for attachment repair. This isn't men's weekend retreat mysticism — it's neurobiology.
