Publisher's summary

Experienced mental health professionals and hosts of the Therapist Uncensored podcast offer a groundbreaking new clinical perspective that integrates modern attachment theory, relational neuroscience, and current cultural context to create a hopeful framework for deeper and more permanent change, growth and connection in all types of relationships.

Secure Relating offers a refreshing and innovative approach to understanding and improving relationships in today's increasingly polarized world. Drawing on over thirty years of professional clinical experience, authors Ann Kelley, PhD and Sue Marriott, LCSW, CGP integrate modern attachment theory, relational neuroscience, and depth psychology into practical tools for deepening self-awareness and navigating closeness with strength in even the most challenging relationships.

Instead of the popular broad attachment categorizations, Secure Relating presents a nuanced understanding of attachment and interpersonal defensive patterns, allowing listeners to delve into the complexities of their own experience and apply the specific skills they need.

Refreshingly, Kelley and Marriott make complex concepts accessible and relatable, emphasizing the realistic capacity for neural change and psychological growth. They provide contemporary concepts and interactive tools such as the Modern Attachment Regulation Spectrum, a new framework that helps listeners identify their unconscious defensive patterns, update and revise their personal narratives, and cultivate a secure state of mind amid chaos and adversity.

Secure Relating delivers hope, connection, and empowerment amidst the many barriers to emotional closeness and provocations towards self-protection by offering a comprehensive approach to understanding and transforming all kinds of relationships into more secure and satisfying bonds.

Life changing

I’ve been in therapy (trauma) for over a year. DV for 20…this book was recommended to me by my therapist, I listened to half the book and used it with my 22yr old..within the same week and explained why and how I reacted to him. He is now going to listen and try and relate in the green… two ripples!!!!Thank you, it was like magic when then thought hit me. (You are wanting to engage right now to prove that you’re right, he’s not hearing you…the speed of how he was talking indicated his activation) so I rolled back to green and within 10 minutes, he said he was sorry and didn’t understand why he reacted that way. Which opened the conversation about book, and what I learned.

Comprehensive look at attachment and relationships

I liked the way the authors simplified and expanded the look at attachment styles and ways the reader could reduce disconnection in their own relationships by understanding themselves and others
