Do you find yourself consumed by a fear of abandonment in your relationships? Do you build walls to keep others at a safe distance, only to find yourself the "architect of your own loneliness"? In the quiet moments, does your heart whisper the universal questions: "Am I safe? Am I loved? Am I alone?"

This ache for a secure, lasting connection is not a flaw; it is a feature of our design. In his groundbreaking book,

Healing Your Attachment Style, Edward P. Martin reveals how our earliest relationships created a subconscious "relational map" that shapes all our connections—with our friends, our spouse, our community, and even with God. But this map doesn't have to be your destiny.

This book builds a powerful bridge between modern attachment science and the timeless wisdom of the Catholic Faith. It makes a foundational and life-changing claim: the spiritual treasures of the Church are a "divinely-inspired attachment repair program" , designed by God Himself to heal our deepest wounds and satisfy our hunger for connection.

You will learn the language of attachment—the "Haven of Safety" and "Secure Base" your heart craves—and discover how God the Father is the only one who can perfectly fulfill these roles.

Inside this book, you will:

• Discover Your Relational Map: Take a compassionate self-assessment to identify your predominant attachment style—Anxious, Avoidant, or Disorganized.

• Understand the "Why": Gain a merciful understanding of how your patterns developed, not as character flaws, but as brilliant survival strategies learned in a world of imperfect love.

• Embark on a Tailored Path to Healing: Learn how to apply specific Catholic practices—the Eucharist, Reconciliation, the Rosary, and Lectio Divina—as a customized treatment plan for your unique attachment wounds.

• Cultivate "Earned Security": See a vivid portrait of the healed and whole Catholic, learning what it feels like to live with a quiet confidence in being beloved.

• Transform Your Vocation: Apply your newfound security to your specific state in life, whether you are single, married, a priest, or in consecrated life.

The echo you hear in your relationships is not a sign that you are broken beyond repair; it is a homing beacon, calling you back to the only love that can ever truly make you feel safe, seen, and secure.

If you are ready to trade anxious striving and lonely self-reliance for a life of peaceful, secure love, this book is your guide on the journey home.
