I Can Relate  - Summer 2026

ENROLLMENT OPEN NOW – STARTS JUNE 6TH.

A LIVE, 8-CLASS GROUP COURSE

Your relationships are not a puzzle. And you're not the broken piece.

An eight-session class for the chronically lonely, the perpetually anxious-texter, the “why does this keep happening to me” overthinker, to help you move from relational difficulty to felt security, so you can finally feel at home in your connections.

You're not bad at connection , you're running an old pattern. And patterns can be rewired, so the closeness you want stops feeling so far out of reach.

After 8 sessions together, you'll have:

✔️ A felt, body-level sense of security in your relationships and not just an intellectual understanding of your attachment style.

✔️ A clear picture of what you actually want in a partner, a friend, a community, and the ability to recognize it when it shows up.

✔️ Real tools for connection and conflict that hold up in your actual life, so closeness feels sustainable instead of exhausting.

I Can Relate: Attachment & Secure Relationships begins June 6th. 

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

If you've tried everything and your relationships still don't stick, you're really not alone.

You've read the attachment books. Taken the quizzes (maybe twice). You push through the anxiety to text first, show up, stay open.

And still, the friendships fade. The romantic thing fizzles. The group chat goes quiet.

Somewhere in the back of your mind, there's a small, awful voice asking: what if there's just… no one out there for me?

I want to gently say two things: that voice is lying. And it's not your fault it got loud.

What you're feeling isn't a character flaw. It's a pattern that was learned early, running quietly underneath your thinking mind. The good news about patterns is that they can change. That's what this course is for.

Here's what's inside.

The goal isn't to think your way to security. It's to work at the level where the patterns actually live.

  • Psychoeducation that clicks — clear teaching on attachment and the unconscious, translated out of therapy-speak and into your real life.

  • Guided meditations that do the heavy lifting — imagination-based, not empty-mind. If you can daydream, you can do this. The change is automatic, not a willpower project.

  • Weekly live calls — we practice together, then talk through what's coming up, with room for questions and real-time guidance.

  • Journaling & reflection prompts — so the insights between calls land somewhere besides your shower thoughts.

The work is built around the Ideal Parent Figure protocol — a clinically researched method for building earned attachment security, developed by Dr. Daniel P. Brown and colleagues at Harvard University. All calls are recorded and yours to keep for a full year.

Plus the communication unlocks no one teaches you:

Grice's Maxims — the four unspoken "rules" every conversation runs on. Once you see them, you can't un-see why some interactions feel effortless and others feel like pulling teeth.

The unconscious blueprint of secure relationships — how to move from superficial connections to the depth you've been craving, in a reliable, sustainable way.

Robin Dunbar's research on social circles — how to actually build and sustain a full social life across both close relationships and broader connections, without burning out.

Student Testimonials

“I first encountered Evan during his transformative Attachment, Development, Purpose Weekend workshop. I was utterly captivated after an immersive six-hour introduction that delved into the complexities of attachment and personal habits. The experience stirred a deep desire to uncover how to embrace my best self without the nagging feeling that something was inherently wrong with me.

Eager to delve deeper, I quickly enrolled in the "Welcome to Attachment" and "Best Self" six-week course, which consisted of engaging two-hour Saturday sessions and an hour-long mid-week follow-up call. For years, I had been trapped in a cycle of distrust towards men and haunted by my feelings of inadequacy, feeling as though I had been ensnared in a frozen state of fight or flight for at least a decade. I truly believed this was the best version of myself I could achieve.

However, everything shifted after the very first class. I experienced a profound sense of safety and validation in Evan’s class—a stark contrast to the walls I had built around myself to avoid being seen or opening up to others. Each week brought transformative moments as we engaged in guided meditations that invited my younger self to heal and integrate with my adult self. With Evan's insightful tips and supportive environment, I could feel a remarkable shift within me; the once-fractured parts of my being began to merge into a more loving, confident version of myself, filled with hope and possibility.”

“I’ve known Evan Leed for over two years, and been facilitated by him for a year plus. What’s great about Evan is how much he really trusts his clients. There is no, “I know better than you,” with Evan, ever. Working with him it’s really clear he’s on your side, believes in your innate ability to heal, and trusts you to guide your own healing process — with just the right amount of in-session support from him, of course. (Though that’s not how he would describe it!) ;)

My nickname for him is Evan-the-self-effacing, and he really is. He won’t tell you that he’s one of the longest-standing people in this field — but he is! (He was in the original training/supervision class with Dan Brown.) Or that he has over 6,000 in session hours with clients — but he does! Or that he’s respected in the field by colleagues and former clients alike — but that’s so, as well. (I know because I’ve heard them say it!)

In addition to facilitating me as a client he’s also provided me supervision for my own clients, as well. Evan is the fourth Facilitator I’ve worked with as a client and truly — his knowledge of this modality is vast and extensive, and (in my experience) unparalleled. I learn from him every week — if not about myself as a client, then about how best to support my own clients. 

As far as the benefits of the attachment repair work we’ve done together as client/Facilitator…this modality has changed my life, and Evan has been a kind, consistent, caring and generous source of support and guidance through the process. I’ve become a vastly better Facilitator myself, better mother, better friend, and happier and infinitely more capable human being as a direct result of the time I’ve spent in sessions with him. No joke.

A well-lived life is 100% possible, and secure attachment really paves the way for that. I feel incredibly fortunate to have Evan guiding me along this road! For all of these reasons — and many more even! — I recommend Evan Leed wholeheartedly to anyone interested in doing this work. He’s truly a gem, and you simply could not be in better hands than his. Really really. :)”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This course is for people who want practical tools to shift long-standing attachment patterns so they can build a felt sense of safety and ‍relational security. We work with attachment repair (IPF), Ideal Partner, and other imagination-based practices to build attachment security and the ability to skillfully navigate relational challenges.

  • You don’t need prior experience. The course is designed to be accessible whether you’re new to attachment or looking for structured support and consistent practice over time. If you can daydream, you can do these exercises.

  • This course is for informational/educational purposes and is not psychotherapy or a replacement for psychotherapy. It also requires a relative level of stability; if you’re currently dealing with intense trauma or specifically trying to work through latent trauma, it may not be the best moment to take this course, and building deeper attachment security may be more appropriate first. If you have doubts, book a free call to discuss.

  • Yes, this course is about secure relating in all its forms. We'll work on moving your existing relationships into greater security, building out your broader social world, and helping you show up as the version of yourself that makes connections feel sustainable rather than exhausting.

  • It's a fair question, and a common one. The live calls are built around exactly this: plenty of room for sharing, questions, and real-time guidance as you bring the tools into your actual life. You won't be doing this alone. That said, a group course is a different experience than individual facilitation, and I want to be honest about that. What I've seen is that people who engage with the practices consistently still move, sometimes significantly.

  • You'll get the most out of it with about 30 minutes a day of practice at home, but I've designed this so even if you don't practice every day, you'll still walk away with insights and shifts that change how you move through your relationships. I’ll be giving you real-life-useful information from week one.

  • The class meets Saturday June 6th at 12pm EST, Wednesday June 10th at 6pm EST, Wednesday June 17th at 6pm EST, Saturday June 20th at 12pm EST, Wednesday June 24th at 6pm EST, Saturday June 27th at 12pm EST, Wednesday July 8th at 6pm EST, Saturday July 11th at 12pm EST. It’s on Zoom, and recordings are available for one year.

  • These techniques are built to meet every attachment style: secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized, the whole cast. The meditations are scaffolding; you fill in the details from your life. I tell you what to imagine, not how to imagine it, which is exactly why it ends up fitting you so precisely

  • There are three options: a standard rate, a sliding-scale option for those who need it, and a sustaining rate for those with more resources. All tiers include the full 8-session course and recording access. Choose the tier that lets you participate without financial strain.

About Evan Leed

I came to this work the same way many of you are arriving here. I was stuck in patterns I couldn't think my way out of while watching friendships fade and romantic connections stall no matter how much I understood about myself.

What changed wasn't more insight. It was working at the level where the patterns actually live. After nearly 125 sessions of IPF with a facilitator, my Adult Attachment Interview returned a score in the secure range. That result is what made me want to bring this work to others.

For the past six years I've worked one-on-one with over 150 clients, and have taught hundreds more in group settings. I trained in the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol directly under the late Dr. Daniel P. Brown, studying with him for nearly two years in his IPF Masterclass. I'm also the first person officially certified by Mettagroup as a facilitator, under the direct mentorship of founder George Haas.

What I've watched happen, again and again, is that people who do this work stop white-knuckling their relationships. The closeness they wanted stops feeling like something they have to earn.

That's what I'm here to help you do.
