  • Finding Meaning In Exploration

    What is exploration? It’s essentialIy the whole point of attachment repair! Exploration entails any pursuits where you’re engaging things that are rewarding and meaningful to you. It’s different for everyone. When you look at the capacity to explore in the different attachment strategies, it’s a skill set that needs development and support from emotional regulation.

    In this episode, George Haas shares about the importance of exploration, and what’s required in order to authentically explore.

Begin the Path of Attachment Repair

Your Meaningful Life Awaits

Learn about the main signs of attachment disturbance, what attachment theory is, and how to end the dysfunctional patterns in your life (for good). It’s time to get on the path of true meaning, purpose, intimacy, and clarity. Join thousands of others who are already benefitting from this approach and embracing their vitality.

The podcast is just the tip of the iceberg.

The real change happens in our Meditation x Attachment programs.

Here’s how our approach works.

It begins with understanding attachment theory (and how this framework literally defines your sense of self and the way you connect with other people, your sense of purpose and everything you end up experiencing in this one, precious life).

Once you’ve gained an understanding of the concepts and differences between attachment strategies, the difficulties you have in past relationships all start to make sense.

Here at Mettagroup, we combine the two ingredients of attachment and meditation to help you fully live your meaningful life.

Founded by George Haas in 2003 and named the ‘Best Online Buddhist Meditation’ by Los Angeles Magazine in 2011, Mettagroup uses Vipassana, or Insight meditation, as a way to help students live a meaningful life. Drawing from 2500-year-old Buddhist teachings and John Bowlby's Attachment Theory, the Mettagroup techniques serve as a model of how to connect with other people, and how to be completely yourself in relationships with others and with work. In other words, we offer a blueprint for living a meaningful life.

  • Fundamentals of Attachment Theory and the 3 Pillar Approach

    The Level One program is an overview of attachment theory, examining the attachment mechanism, the exploration mechanism and the collaborative relationship systems that are necessary for secure functioning. We set the groundwork for deeper work at level two and beyond.

  • Mentalizing and collaborative relationships

    After completing Level One, we invite you to go deeper in this 6 month container. You’ll learn about secure, insecure and disorganized functioning so that you can be fully equipped to skillfully navigate relationships and self-manage with awareness. You’ll also learn the different paths of repair, depending on attachment conditioning.

    In level two, you also receive 1.1 meditation mentoring or IPF sessions. Our Metta-Vipassana meditation approach, designed to support attachment repair, is only available through Mettagroup.

“Working with George Haas and Mettagroup was the best decision of my life. In under four years I moved from a highly disorganized attachment style to earned security. Now my days have a sense of happiness and purpose that I never thought was possible before. I’d recommend George to anyone.”

- Evan Leed

“Your teaching style is the perfect balance of profound insight, fascinating science, and extra dry martini humor.”

I spent most of my life (5 decades) exhaustively exploring all the wrong paths, so it’s my true honor to share what’s worked for me and hundreds of my students, with long-lasting and life-enhancing effects.
The good news is, it’s not too late to live your meaningful life.

I’m George Haas

Host of ‘I Love You Keep Going Podcast’ and Founding Teacher of Mettagroup. I’m glad you found us.

I came from an upper middle class family in Chicago, and still had a crap childhood. I had a lot of difficulties in my early life, and there was no way to get people to help me with them.

Today, my main drive in offering this podcast and all our programming at Mettagroup is simple…

It’s payback. Not the revenge-type.

My mission today is to pay it forward, honoring the people who helped me save my life.

Over the last 40 years, I have accumulated this knowledge about how to heal attachment injury (through both learning and experience). My mission in this program (and at Metttagroup at large) is to share this blueprint in a distilled, manageable way so that people don’t need to go through years of confusion and suffering like I did.

Within just 150 sessions, studies show that you can go from insecure attachment to securely attached. That’s profound, swift results (we’re talking ~ 3 years). I spent most of my life (5 decades) exhaustively exploring all the wrong paths, so it’s my true honor to share what’s worked for me and hundreds of my clients, with long-lasting and life-enhancing effects.

“I'm better than I've ever been.”

“I just want to share, that it's been six years, a big journey, a big journey. But guess what? I've earned secure. Today I found out that I've earned secure. I know a lot of you won't know what that means, but some of you might. I got my attachment assessment inventory back today and I'm secure. I'm better than I've ever been.”

-Sia, Pop Star
