THE SCIENCE IS IN
Sometimes science comes along and affirms what people have always sensed deep down. This is what is happening with attachment-science research. It continues to show that emotionally honest, supportive and meaningful relationships are central to our well-being and our capacity to feel alive in our lives.

Hi, I’m Chris Kingman, relationship coach, psychotherapist, and guide for those who feel a pull toward something more in their relationships and in themselves.
For 25 years, I’ve worked with individuals and couples who feel stuck, who find themselves repeating the same painful patterns, who long for more connection but are not sure how to get there.
I also understand that stepping into a group can feel vulnerable. It is not second nature for most of us to open up in front of others. There can be real fears of being judged, misunderstood, or not fully accepted.
Relationship Practice groups are designed with that in mind.
They are a place to move at a human pace, to be met with care, and to gradually build the kind of honesty and connection that many of us did not have a chance to practice growing up.
At the same time, something important happens when we step just outside our comfort zone and practice with
other people.
It is in these shared moments, speaking honestly, listening carefully, and staying present through discomfort,
that new ways of relating begin to take root. Not as ideas, but as lived experience.
I created Relationship Practice groups for people who are ready, in their own way and in their own time, to begin that process.
This is not about doing it perfectly.
It is about showing up, being real, and discovering that growth and connection are possible, together.
Intention Setting
We begin by slowing down and reconnecting with what matters most to each person in the group. This becomes our shared orientation.
The Science + The Soul
You’ll learn tools grounded in attachment science and interpersonal neurobiology, offered in a clear, human way that stays connected to real life.
Practice & Participation
This is not a lecture. It’s a space to practice courageous honesty, presence, and compassion, at your own pace and in your own way.
Reset & Reflect
We take time to pause and reflect on what’s shifting, what feels challenging, and how you are growing through it.
Cultivate Emotional Sobriety
You’ll learn to recognize and step out of habits of emotional reactivity while moving toward greater steadiness and grounded presence – a way of relating I call emotional sobriety. Not perfection, but meaningful progress.
Real-world Application
What you practice here doesn’t stay here. You begin to carry it into your relationships and everyday life, with more clarity, intention, confidence and skill.
