Publisher's Synopsis
Are you experiencing a lack of trust, intimacy, or communication in your relationship? Have you often been involved with people who let you down? Are you frustrated by your inability to develop deeper intimacy with another person, no matter how much you want it?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above, this could be a sign that insecure attachment is negatively impacting your relationships and holding you back from deeper trust and intimacy. In this book, author Claire Dale explains the three attachment styles and how they contribute to the way in which you relate to your partner. By identifying your attachment style and understanding the psychological makeup of your approach to emotional intimacy, you can learn to recognize and avoid your triggers, and develop healthy ways of communicating with your partner.
You will also learn:
- How to recognize insecure attachment behavior in yourself or your partner.
- Why people settle for insecure attachment instead of pursuing intimacy.
- How insecure attachment can wreak havoc in an otherwise healthy relationship.
- Strategies to cope with insecure attachment and its accompanying anxieties.
- Simple ways to manage common conflicts or sensitive family issues.
- How to communicate effectively with your partner, to ensure you are both heard and resolve your issues amicably.
Whether you are in a relationship or seeking one, Insecure Attachment promises to equip you with the strategies you need to adjust your instinctive behavioral patterns and move towards a healthier partnership. Written in a professional yet approachable tone, it is designed to help you explore your psychological makeup without judgment, in order to fully understand how your hidden inner workings impact your life in very external, visible ways.
