Red Flags, Real Talk: Spotting Toxic Relationship Dynamics (and Exiting Early)
Learn an attachment and meditation based approach to ending bully, trauma-bonding, and seduction
Led by George Haas, Meditation Teacher
Replay included - Live attendance is strongly encouraged
Most toxic relationship dynamics don’t announce themselves (especially when we have attachment injury).
In fact, they actually disguise themselves as chemistry, loyalty, or love.
In this workshop, you’ll learn to recognize the three most common patterns that keep people stuck in dissatisfying relationships: bullying, seduction, and trauma bonding. We’ll uncover how to notice when you’re being pulled into one before it takes hold. And not only that, you’ll learn the key elements of secure relationships, and the path to enjoying a newfound intimacy, mutual support and love.
You deserve relationships that fill your cup (rather than drain you dry). Let’s dive into how to make space for these types of connections (and repair the attachment conditioning that keeps you stuck in these old cycles).
Join us August 18th to dive into this topic!
In this workshop, we’ll explore:
⚫️ What are toxic relationships that masquerade as chemistry and love? Let’s look at the difference between toxicity and healthy connection. If you can spot it, you can move forward with more clarity and empowerment.
⚫️ Why do I confuse chemistry with toxicity? We will look at the attachment context here.
⚫️ Learn the key elements of secure relationships, and the path to enjoying a newfound intimacy, mutual support and love (free of all the old baggage).
⚫️ The Path for Long Term Attachment Healing: George Haas will share about the Mettagroup Method, which has helped over a thousand people get on the path of earning security and upending the painful patterns that once defined (and limited) their lives.
The patterns that keep us trapped are actually changeable.
Attachment healing is possible, and 90% of our clients at Mettagroup see radical shifts within 3 years of implementing the Mettagroup Method.

You continue getting involved in dynamics of bullying, seduction or trauma-bonding in relationships (romantic, platonic, familial and career). You’re ready to exit this cycle and stop wasting your time in these dynamics.
You want to have more awareness when you’re triggered, and capacity to pause and choose a different response in the moment.
You struggle with chronic anxiety, emotional reactivity, loneliness, people-pleasing, or relationship challenges.
You’re interested in meditation as an attachment repair intervention.
You’re tired of the old and long-standing patterns that drive your behavior in your life (and keep you feeling small, broken or in dysfunctional relationships or dynamics).
You want to respond skillfully at work, no longer being driven by your triggers with colleagues, clients, managers, etc.
Meet your Workshop Facilitator - George Haas,
Founding Teacher
George Haas is the founder of Mettagroup and a meditation teacher with more than 25 years of experience integrating contemplative practice, attachment theory, and developmental psychology. Since 2000, he has taught meditation to thousands of students worldwide, developing a unique approach that combines Buddhist insight practices with modern attachment repair methods.
George is best known for pioneering the Mettagroup Method, an innovative framework that helps individuals cultivate earned secure attachment through meditation, visualization, and relational practices. Drawing from attachment theory, neuroscience, Ideal Parent Figure Protocol, and the Buddhist path of awakening, his work offers a practical and transformative approach to healing relational wounds and fostering greater emotional resilience, connection, and well-being.
He is the creator of Mettagroup's Meditation x Attachment programs and host of the podcast I Love You, Keep Going, where he explores meditation, psychology, attachment, and personal transformation. George's teachings have helped establish attachment repair as a powerful complement to traditional mindfulness practice, supporting both personal healing and professional development for therapists, coaches, counselors, and meditation teachers around the world.
Over the last 40 years, he has accumulated this knowledge about how to heal attachment injury (through both learning and experience). His mission 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 he did.
Within just 150 IPF sessions, studies show that you can go from insecure attachment to securely attached. That’s profound, swift results (we’re talking ~ 3 years). He spent most of his life (5 decades) exhaustively exploring all the wrong paths, so it’s his true honor to share what’s worked for him and hundreds of students, with long-lasting and life-enhancing effects.
The Key to Ending the Dysfunctional Patterns
At Mettagroup, we offer a reparative approach that combines attachment theory and meditation.
Here’s why.
Once you’ve gained an understanding of the concepts and differences between attachment styles, the difficulties you have in past relationships all start to make sense. This can lead to greater relief, and an opening to new possibilities.
Here’s how the combination works.
With meditation, we offer specific types of practices that guide in the attachment repair process. We then pair that with a psycho-educational approach to attachment theory. This winning combination is what has helped many of our students (including myself) earn secure attachment and end so many of the patterns that once held us back.
Oftentimes, my students can’t believe they’ve waited so long to make these connections.
But the good news is, it’s not too late!
“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.”

Attachment theory is an understanding of the instinctual drive to seek closeness to a caregiver who will provide protection and love, as well as support the development of your natural abilities.
By understanding this system, as well as your own attachment style (as well as the attachment styles of people in your life), you’re better equipped to act in secure ways, get your needs met, set aligned boundaries, and invest time and energy in reciprocally supportive relationships. This leads to having the capacity to live a more meaningful life, and to put your energy into your authentic passions, curiosity and purpose (and less energy in volatile relationships).
