Secure Functioning in Adult Relationships
with Dr. Diane Poole Heller and Dr. Stan Tatkin
Discover a practical and dynamic approach that equips clients with powerful skills to break repetitive patterns and establish a two-person system built on collaboration and mutual support.
- Our first session starts on November 7, 2023!
How can we help our clients break free from repetitive and painful patterns that jeopardize their relationships?
Your clients deserve loving relationships that remain strong and connected despite life’s challenges.
Yet, early attachment experiences directly shape the expectations, perceptions, and behaviors they carry into adult relationships.
When either person is unaware of, or unable to articulate their needs and emotions, their insecure attachment patterns activate their negativity bias, leading them to “fill in the blanks” and make unwarranted assumptions that escalate tensions and result in conflicts.
As these unresolved wounds resurface during therapy sessions, they amplify emotional arousal, transforming your role from healer to mediator.
The challenge is that unresolved attachment patterns and unspoken expectations hinder communication and repair, trapping the couple in a relentless cycle of repetitive arguments.
In this cycle, each partner operates as a one-person system, prioritizing their individual needs over the relationship’s well-being.
How can we help clients shift from a one-person psychology to a two-person system where they prioritize the relationship first––taking care of themselves and each other at the same time?
Therapists can encourage couples to embrace collaboration, connection, and co-regulation, laying the foundation for a secure functioning relationship.
By acting as a unified team with a shared vision and protective boundaries against both internal and external challenges, couples establish a two-person system rooted in mutual support and cooperation, where each partner actively shields the other (and the relationship itself) from external threats and stressors.
A two-person system emphasizes interactions filled with love, compassion, and empathy, where each partner tends to the other’s needs without compromising their own—allowing couples to break free from repetitive patterns that sabotage the relationship.
While we, as therapists, may have numerous interventions at our disposal, many don’t adequately prepare clients to consistently prioritize the relationship, particularly during challenging times.
The good news is that anyone can improve our relational skills––even those of us with insecure attachment patterns.
We need an attachment-focused approach that gives partners the tools to emotionally support one another, communicate more effectively, ensure mutual safety, and balance individual and shared needs.
“Putting the relationship before anything and everything else means putting your partner’s well-being, self-esteem and distress relief first.
And it means your partner does the same for you. You both agree to do it for each other—and say to each other, “WE come first.”
– Dr. Stan Tatkin
Improve your clinical skills to effectively treat even the most challenging couples…
- Learn how to track moment-by-moment shifts in emotional arousal to heighten your attunement, enabling a deeper understanding and more effective response to your clients’ needs.
- By understanding how past experiences and insecure attachments shape our actions, you’ll learn how to guide couples away from negative cycles toward secure functioning and repair.
- Gain new skills and learn how to integrate practical, hands-on tools with your current methods during clinical sessions with clients. Work more effectively and confidently with even the most complex cases.
- Teach your clients how to reduce threat, rebuild trust and establish “ground rules”—so they can move forward together with a shared vision and purpose.
- See how to address challenging interactions in the safe space of therapy, so both partners learn and practice new ways of communicating, co-regulating and collaborating.
- Understand how neurobiology influences people's actions and reactions within relationships, so you can identify and calm dysregulated threat responses, promoting emotional regulation for both you and your clients.

Who Should Join Us?
In Therapy Mastermind Circle, we take on topics that aren’t always taught in other training programs…
- You’d like to deepen your understanding of couple’s relationships, gain new skills and insights, learn valuable tools to support your work with clients, and see improved outcomes.
- You’d like to learn practical, hands-on techniques to help clients get to the root of their insecure attachment patterns, so their partners can better understand and support their emotional needs.
- You’re an experienced therapist and you want to refine your approach as you guide clients from a one-person psychology to a two-person system where partners share a vision, set guidelines and boundaries with intent—to move forward together in a collaborative, connected, and co-regulated manner.
- You’re a newer therapist or mental health professional looking to integrate additional corrective exercises, tools, strategies, and psychodramatic interventions into your work, so you can confidently help couples navigate the complexities of intimate relationships.
- Your clients struggle to pinpoint or share their emotions, often stemming from unresolved trauma, and you want to better understand the source of their feelings, so they’ll be better equipped to articulate their needs and learn healthier ways to manage stress and conflict.
- You’d like an additional attachment- and trauma-informed approach that strengthens your own emotional attunement and self-regulation as you work with couples and individuals to facilitate secure functioning.
