The Attachment Workbook
Description
A highly-interactive guide to explore your attachment style, understand your internal patterns, and build lasting, secure relationships, from the author of The Power of Attachment
"A trustworthy map for understanding and healing our earliest wounds."-Mark Wolynn, author of It Didn't Start With You
"At our core, every one of us is designed for secure connection," writes attachment theory expert Diane Poole Heller, PhD. But the trauma of early childhood experiences, especially from parents and caregivers, can challenge our ability to build healthy connections. The same skills we develop to cope as children can become the patterns that haunt our relationships as adults. In The Attachment Workbook, Dr. Heller offers a hands-on resource to create the secure relationships that are possible for each one of us.
The Attachment Workbook offers:
¿ A quiz to help you understand your attachment style-secure, avoidant, anxious/ambivalent, or disorganized
¿ Insights that many of us have more than one attachment style and different styles for different relationships
¿ More than 50 highly interactive exercises, including audio meditations to download or stream
¿ Invitations to celebrate the superpowers of our attachment style
¿ Reflections that help us identify where our attachment style sabotages our relationships
¿ Strategies to build secure attachment and stronger relationships.
Dr. Heller writes, "It's not enough to simply understand attachment in our minds. Our nervous system learns by doing, by feeling, by practicing." This workbook helps us embody what we learn.
"You're not broken or missing a piece," writes Dr. Heller. "You don't need to 'become' someone else. This is the good news about healing our attachment adaptations. Secure attachment is part of your biology." This workbook helps us uncover and strengthen our capacity for secure connection.
