A Resource on Attachment

Curious about the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships? Having a hard time dealing with conflict? Struggling with a nagging sense of insecurity, doubt, or too much closeness around your partner? You’ve stumbled upon a great resource! 

There’s a lot to say about attachment, and co-authors Amir Levine and Rachel S.F. Heller break it down for their readers in an easy-to-read, relatable way in their book Attached.

Something fun about working your way through Attached is having the opportunity to take a closer look at your own potential attachment style and how this shows up for you in your relationships. From there, the authors outline how attachment styles can work well together, while also highlighting common difficulties that often arise in relationships. 

After reading through this book, you’ll likely discover:

• new insight into your potential attachment style

• increased awareness of your relational strengths and potential pitfalls 

• refreshed communication skills and effective ways to deal with conflict 

Like many other topics, resources on attachment are a great starting point for personal exploration. But hear me out (I might be a little biased on this one!): Due to the relational nature of attachment, the best place for deeper work is often in the context of a trustworthy, authentic, and safe relationship.

We can learn and heal in the presence of others in profound and meaningful ways. As always, this is my hope for you.
