Group 1 - Attachments

Why you love, feel, and act the way you do!

Why is it so difficult to connect with, or even get along with, certain people - especially the ones you care about the most? You can't seem to put your finger on it, but something is getting in the way. You've invested yourself in relationships time and again - and time and again you've been disappointed, discouraged, or deeply hurt. Yet you know what you want: a fulfilling, safe, loving relationship with your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings, and your friends.

So how do you create satisfying relationships? Where do you begin? Drs. Tim Clinton and Gary Sibcy believe that, for each of us, our present relationships are influenced by our first "attachments" or bonds with people in early childhood. Consequently, understanding your pattern of relating to others - what Drs. Clinton and Sibcy call your "attachment style" - is the cornerstone for building satisfying relationships with the people you love.

This recovery group will help participants identify and define their first attachments. In doing so, will lead them to discover...

• how to get free from the mistakes of the past
• guidance for connecting with those closest to you
• practical tools to help you avoid negative patterns of relating
• what kind of people best nurture your soul
• your personal pathway to healthy bonding with God and others

Life is short! Attachments will take you on a journey of self-discovery. A journey toward learning to love others in godly, selfless ways. A journey that will, in turn, help you receive the love you've always dreamed of.
