I Love You Keep Going with George Haas

George, Apostol and Jess come together to discuss the exciting new mobile app and AI bot here at Mettagroup. What problem does it solve for our students? What features make it stand out, and how is it different from other AI bots in the marketplace?

What is exploration and what impacts our capacity to expore in adulthood (based on each attachment strategy)? How does attachment repair ready us for exploration? What do we need to explore sustainably?

Differences between this measurement and other modalities out there (quizzes)? What are the subcategories?

What are the signs that genuine attachment repair has taken place? What are the red flags to look for that indicate masking is taking place?

“I meditate every day and I’m still reactive in my relationship”. Why is meditation alone not enough? Why is this gap present for many meditators? How do you close the gap and access equanimity in relationship?

“My partner shuts down every time I bring something up”. How do we live with and navigate a dismissive-avoidant partner as the anxious one

How can our platonic connections support us in developing earned secure attachment? What pitfalls can we look out for or avoid in friendships that keep us stuck in our old patterns?

How phones, social media, and texting culture reshape (or distort) attachment behaviors. How are romantic, platonic, and work relationships impacted? How does it impact intimacy and feelings of abandonment or dismissal? How can we use technology in ways that don't trigger our attachment wounds or create new ones?
