Resumen del Editor

Do you struggle with relationships?

Has it been your experience that you have a hard time starting and maintaining healthy relationships?

Maybe you have a lopsided attitude about what healthy relationships are supposed to be like, and you end up making it all about yourself. You may have developed an obsession with your partner, so that you always want to be around them, never letting go, hogging their space. Maybe you have taken to being dramatic, so that if you don’t get your way, you start the drama, hoping your partner will bend to your will. Sometimes you shut off, refuse to engage with your partner, and start reliving your memories, both good and bad, or you focus on your fantasies.

Sometimes you are anxious about the stability of your relationship. It rings in your mind that your partner might finally realize they made a mistake and get away from you, and such thoughts make you terribly scared because the last thing you want is to be abandoned. And as a result, you obsess about your partner even more. Sometimes you are cold. Sometimes you are hot. You get cowardly at times and indirectly resist your partner. Many times, you are caught in a storm of emotions you can hardly make sense of.

If the experiences above remotely point to what you go through, you must be suffering from insecure attachment issues. This book has been authored in order to help you overcome your insecure attachment issues.

Let’s face it. Relationships play an important role in making us happy. But then they have to be healthy relationships. Insecure attachment issues deny you the opportunity to form healthy relationships because you exhibit various toxic habits that ultimately undermine the health of your relationship. In order to have healthy relationships, you must get rid of your insecure attachment issues.

Psychologists believe that insecure attachment is rooted in early childhood experiences. Kids that grew up under loving parents so that their emotional needs were catered to are likely to grow up to be secure people who expect the best from the world. But then kids that had nasty parents and grew up in an emotionally reckless environment are the most likely to exhibit insecure attachment issues in later life. Such kids turn out to be distrustful of other people and exhibit emotional recklessness that makes it hard for them to start and maintain healthy relationships with other human beings.

Childhood trauma makes an individual most susceptible to insecure attachment issues, but psychologists believe there are still other causative factors including low self-esteem and failure. This book aims to help you overcome insecure attachment and start leading your best life. We have elaborated on the various signs that indicate that one is suffering from insecure attachment, touched upon the causes of insecure attachment, and most importantly, we have shown the proven methods to overcome insecure attachment issues. Some of the topics include:

• Insecure attachment decoded
• Childhood trauma
• Low self-esteem
• Anxiety

Perfect match!!

I have to review this book and I have only read two chapters. Every word matches me and my insecurity issues in my relationship. I can not believe it, it is as if this person wrote my love life. Incredible! Looking forward to continue on!

Very easy

I certainly could relate to the content in this book. Very easy to listen and some priceless exercises that gave me some ideas on how to transit into a more secure attachment type.

Are insecurely attached people doomed?

If you're looking for a "how to recover from insecure attachment", this is not the book for you. This mainly covers what insecure attachment is (which at certain points makes it sound like a personality disorder). It covers "negative people", which is really just the book's terminology for those suffering Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It offers vague suggestions of things you can do to "avoid" being insecurely attached. But it kind of comes off like, "Step #1: Don't be insecurely attached". And "Step #2: If you exhibit these traits, you're doomed to lead a miserable, unfulfilling life cut off from society."

Gentle, useful book

This was a great audio, and is now a useful reference book to understand attachment typologies. What I find striking is that this author argues that to overcome anxious attachment, one needs to actively find a healthy relationship (friendly, familial, romantic, otherwise). This is easier said than done, and possibly easier in some life areas than others. Also, I find that this approach could put a lot of undue burden on the “healthily attached” person

Christian based self-help

Personal use. Written from a Christian perspective which did not apply to me. The research has and information were very interesting. insightful, thought provoking, and more depth on the subject than expected.

This was good

This made me self reflect. This isn’t easy and its just the beginning but I highly recommend listening to this book if you think you have any insecure attachment.

It really was how you were raised.

It does a impressive job explaining why many couples end up in conflict and why many romantic relationships that begin with promise nevertheless fail. Satisfying first fact: Until now it's not your fault, it really was how you were raised. After listening the audiobook and learning who you really are now, it will be your fault in the future if you don't change.

Changing my life each page.

I’m not done listening this yet which is why I only gave 4 stars and I never write audiobook reviews but I tell you every person in the world needs to listen to this audiobook! It is literally talking to me, about me and showing me how to grow.

Life Changing

This book is absolutely amazing for someone who has a hard time, when his or her partner still has his own life next to the relationship. It takes away the fear of loosing that person. Must listen to it.
