Easy to understand and apply content

I am coming out of a 23 year marriage that I have been incredibly committed and attached to. In some other readings. About narcissism, trauma and healing, I came across attachment theory and it was eye opening. I researched where I could learn more. This has been an eye opening book for me. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about relationship dynamics.

This a good way of explaining all of the types of attachment. Going into how childhood and other factors that caused trauma effect if you have a secure attachment style or not. Also goes into the starts of how to correct those issues. Very helpful.

Makes complete sense, led to self revelations, provides a path forward

This book provided great insight into why my relationship of 35 years has become what it is. We can change with awareness and commitment and the goal is growth and self love. I appreciate the exercises and ideas presented giving hope and possibility to our situation. The reading was somewhat difficult to digest, I ended up purchasing a copy. Not sure if AI translated it or not but when and there were breaks in texts, titles and sub-categories in chapters it was very hard to understand. Paragraphs, sentences and sections ran together. The voice inflections were off and sometimes too extreme or in the wrong places. I got used to it after about chapter 3.

Approachable, Encouraging & Illuminating

Just what I was looking for. This breaks down the psychological and physiological origins of attachment styles while being approachable. I also love how at every turn, the listener is encouraged that there is hope to move toward change and given ideas of how to do so. There is no shaming. I feel like I have peeled back layers of my history and shed light on issues I have struggled with for years.
