About

I'm Brien Wood MA LMFT LMHC, a licensed therapist in Seattle and your Attachment Science Guide.

After years of using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples, I've witnessed something profound: secure love isn't just luck—it's something you can build when you understand how humans are naturally designed to connect.

Every person is born with an attachment system—our brain's built-in blueprint for safety and connection that shapes how we respond in relationships from childhood onward. These patterns often operate outside our awareness, driving us to pursue when we're scared or withdraw when we feel overwhelmed, creating cycles that push away the very connection we crave. When couples learn to recognize these deeper patterns and understand the fears and needs driving their reactions, they can break free from automatic responses and create the secure, lasting bond they've always wanted.

There's a science and practice to love, and you can learn it.
