Finding Your Wisdom: You’ve Got This

Circle of Security helps parents connect with their innate wisdom, navigate challenges, and build stronger relationships. 

Ever find yourself thinking, “Why is this so hard?”
Or feeling like you’re reacting in ways that don’t match the kind of parent you want to be?

You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone.

At Circle of Security, we begin with a core belief:
Every parent is hard wired to provide competent care.

You were born equipped with everything you need to nurture and protect. It’s part of being human — a deep, biological drive to respond to your child’s needs. 

But sometimes, something gets in the way. Our caregiving capacities may get impacted by stress, trauma, or fear — but it doesn’t disappear.
Shutting down or snapping when your child really needs closeness - these reactions don’t mean you’re a bad parent.
They mean something old is getting stirred up. Something loud enough to drown out that quiet inner wisdom.

That’s why at Circle of Security, we don’t hand out scripts or quick-fix techniques. Parenting isn’t a performance. It’s a relationship. And we trust that the wisdom you need is already in you — even if it sometimes gets hard to hear.

We’re not here to teach you how to parent.
We’re here to teach you how to use the Circle of Security and learn how to listen beneath the noise, to hear your inner wisdom, and find your way back to what you already know.

You’ve got this.
