THE SCIENCE IS IN

Sometimes science comes along and affirms what wise people have forever known intuitively. This is what is happening with attachment science. It is proving that deep, meaningful, emotionally honest relationships are the primary source of emotional-relational wellness.

Hi, I’m Chris Kingman, relationship coach, psychotherapist, and guide for those ready to show up and get serious about their emotional-relational health.

For 25 years, I’ve worked with individuals and couples who are tired of feeling stuck, watching life from the sidelines, shallow connections and emotional numbing.

I created the Emotionally Sober Relationships Group for people who are ready to roll up their sleeves, open their hearts and do the brave, honest work of emotional-relational growth. This is a space for those who want more than just coping—for those who want more depth, aliveness and relational intimacy in their lives.

Real-world Application

No. This is a peer-based, emotionally honest group led by a licensed psychotherapist. It’s about growth, not diagnosis.

You’re welcome here. You’ll be supported and challenged in equal measure. Most people come in nervous—and leave grateful.

Only in the sense that it honors the deep human need for truth, presence, and meaningful connection.

In the overwhelming saturation of modern life—with its endless demands, distractions, and responsibilities—it’s incredibly easy to lose touch with ourselves and with what truly matters. We get swept into a mode of functioning that is performative, transactional, and disconnected from love, presence, and genuine human connection. This group exists as a consistent and reliable interruption to that cycle—by offering you a protected hour each week to return to yourself, in the presence of kindred practitioners.

No fixing. No performing. Just practice. Humans holding space for and with each other is the highest leverage activity and most optimal environment to help human beings heal and grow in the direction of authenticity, wisdom and maturity.

This is a unique environment. I started it because I’ve experienced firsthand—and witnessed in many others—the profound value of carving out protected time each week to reflect, reconnect, and re-center in the supportive and reliable presence of kindred practitioners. Yes you can do this work in individual therapy or coaching—I and many others do, and it’s incredibly valuable. Keep doing it! But there is something unique and transformative about also doing it in a group where people are meeting based on “shared vulnerability” and a “mutual aid mindset”. When you listen deeply to others who are honestly wrestling with the same core human struggles, your own insights multiply. When it’s your turn to speak and you’re met with presence and care—not advice, not judgment, just attention—that is not only deeply healing but also profoundly growthful.
