FAQ Section

What makes IAT different from regular therapy?

Most therapy focuses on insight, behavior change, or coping skills. IAT works directly with the nervous system to create new attachment templates. Through structured visualization (IPF Protocol), your brain learns what secure attachment feels like—not intellectually, but procedurally. This changes how you automatically respond in relationships.

Do I need to have trauma to benefit from this work?

No. IAT helps anyone with insecure attachment patterns—dismissive, anxious, or disorganized. You don't need capital-T trauma. Most people I work with had "good enough" childhoods but learned protective strategies that now cost them in adult relationships.

How long does this take?

Individual IAT typically takes 6-12 months to create significant change. The men's group is 16 weeks. Attachment repair isn't a quick fix—it's developmental work that takes time to internalize.

Is this evidence-based?

Yes. The Ideal Parent Figure Protocol is grounded in attachment theory, neurobiology, and memory reconsolidation research. Dan Brown's work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and is recognized in the trauma and attachment field.

What's the difference between individual therapy and the men's group?

Individual therapy is deeper and more customized. The group leverages peer dynamics—men see each other access vulnerability, which creates safety and normalization. Group is more affordable and has unique therapeutic power, but isn't appropriate for everyone.

How do I know if I'm a good fit?

You're a good fit if:

  • You're stable enough to do deep emotional work

  • You're willing to feel discomfort in service of growth

  • You can commit to the process (not jumping ship when it gets hard)

  • You're open to visualization and somatic work

You're NOT a good fit if:

  • You're in active crisis or acute mental health emergency

  • You're looking for quick fixes or life hacks

  • You want advice rather than repair work

  • You're mandated to therapy and aren't choosing this

Do you take insurance?

I'm an out-of-network provider. I can provide superbills for potential reimbursement, but many insurance plans don't cover specialized attachment work. This is an investment in changing the foundation of how you relate.
