Creating Understanding
Learn your and your partner's attachment styles, including how biology and early
conditioning (how experiences influence behavior) worked together to form your unique sensitivities, habits and needs.

conditioning (how experiences influence behavior) worked together to form your unique sensitivities, habits and needs.
Learn new skills and habits to retrain your nervous system to associate connection and conflict with safety and comfort, not distress and defensiveness. Experience conflict and vulnerability comfortably by practicing "attunement" (awareness and response to your partner's needs) through new communication skills and behaviors.
Enjoy each other. When you and your partner establish a foundation of understanding and safety — true friendship, playfulness, and joy can naturally flourish.
I'm Dr. Angelica Shiels, a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about helping people strengthen relationships by understanding themselves and their partners through the psychological principles of family systems and attachment theories. As children, we were all impacted by our families of origin and conditioned to respond to connection, vulnerability, and conflict uniquely based on our experiences. Examining how these factors follow us into adulthood helps partners build a foundation of understanding from which to practice new approaches to old problems and renew relationships. I started sharing all of this in reels and TikTok went wild. Thus, The Attunment Method, my personalized approach to relationship coaching, was born.
