Workshop Testimonials

  • "Julie's information and attention to not only the concepts but to the actual people in the webinar and even after in several follow up Q&As was great. She's personable, she answers questions directly and gets to most of them on how to handle issues or gives methods to help approach specific situations. She's giving real and valuable information, not just trying to host a vague workshop where she tries to only sell her book (like so many authors do). The couples workshop was the best workshop I've ever been to online and worth my money."

  • "When I started this process, I had no knowledge of what an Avoidant attachment was, or a DA, or that such a term existed, and that the patterns of a DA was what I had been exhibiting throughout my life. The AV Workshop brought a world of clarity, pain, understanding and a (sometimes overwhelming) wealth of self awareness that I had no idea that I could/would ever be able to dive into or digest. Julie is compassionate, open, yet firm in how she conducts each session. I am forever grateful for her, the course, and the knowledge I have gained. I still have a lot of work to do - it's a lifelong journey - but I cannot imagine where I would be now if I had not decided to take this life-changing course."

  • "Julie's workshop was very impactful and helpful to me! Thank you so much. Her presentation and explanations were compelling, accessible, compassionate, and knowledgeable. It is also life changing to listen to other people who are struggling with some of the same avoidant behavior patterns. I thought I was alone! Inclusion of partners is also a powerful example of couples working together."

  • "I love the balance between providing information and learning the attachment styles and the group's participation which brings the learning to life. I think Julie's style created a safe space for people to be open, take risks in being vulnerable and apply the learning in real time. "

  • "Loved every minute and all the extra Q&A support. Julie's workshop was one of the best things we have done for our relationship."

  • "I never thought that this workshop would help me and my husband as much as it did. We are very new to Julie's work and just followed our gut feeling and signed up for the workshop. It turned out that it was a really good decision. Julie is very good at explaining and helping to understand the different mechanisms that can show up in relationships."

  • "Julie is great and I learned a lot from this workshop. She is not only very attentive during the workshop but she is amazing about validating individuals feelings. I felt seen and heard for the first time even though I had my own therapist. I also keep learning from her bi-weekly group. I'm glad I started following her in the last couple years. The workshops are very helpful to my healing because it helps to understand the bigger picture in my journey. Thanks a lot Julie!"

  • "I appreciate the clear way Julie explains attachment styles and how they play out in relationships. She explains them in a way that helps me connect with more self compassion toward myself and understanding toward my partner. Learning these concepts helps me pause before reacting in relationship--and that is priceless."

  • "The workshop gave me lots of insights on what is going on and what the dynamics are between anxious and avoidant partners. Understanding that all styles want to keep the connection/relationship but are using different ways to do so, made me feel mild towards my partner. As well as the fact that we all act out of a place of pain softened me. The workshop helped me see the cycles we're in and change my behavior towards him. On the other side I was not aware that my behavior is a pattern too and coming from a place of angst. I learned a lot from the workshop but also from the Q&A sessions."

  • "Thank you, Julie, for a great workshop! I am still referring to the notes you shared and will undoubtedly do so for years to come. So much of the information was relevant to my marriage and useful to better understand the trauma that my spouse has suffered from his childhood. Disorganized Attachment was new to me, and I appreciate the approach you took in sharing the information in an easy to comprehend and apply format. Thanks again!"

  • "Love how organized and clear this workshop was. It was great to hear Julie expand on the slides and text, in addition to hearing people's stories and questions in the group. It normalizes disorganized attachment to hear others experiences with it. Plus, the workshop gives a clear path forward re: what the growth path might look like. I appreciate how Julie de-pathologizes disorganized attachment and encourages change by saying something like - you came by it honestly, yet it no longer serves you."

  • "Most insightful workshop I’ve done. Putting words to emotions I feel and giving me practical tools I can use to make my relationships safe and secure! I wish I did this sooner!"

  • "It was a valuable experience to see Julie model "loving listening" skills with empathy and curiosity. The inner critic session and the parts aspect one was one of the most helpful ones. The content was delivered compassionately, kindly and well and helped take some of the shame/stigma out. Thank you so much for all of it."

  • "The workshop was so helpful! We appreciated all the information shared and the couples activities."
