Healing Your Attachment Wounds

How to Create Deep and Lasting Intimate Relationships

Publisher's summary

Why do we experience recurring struggles in our relationships? And why do traumatic events - such as a physical injury, emotional threat, loss of a loved one, or other life crisis - so often awaken or amplify our sense of fear, anger, isolation, or helplessness?

From our earliest years, teaches Diane Poole Heller, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, replaying in our intimate relationships, with our children, and at work. And traumatic events can deeply affect that core relational blueprint.

With Healing Your Attachment Wounds, a pioneer in attachment theory and trauma resolution brings together these two fields to help us understand and benefit from their complementary principles and methods.

This in-depth audio learning program sheds light on the three styles of insecure attachment - Avoidant, Ambivalent, and Disorganized - and the ideal fourth style of Secure attachment, where we enjoy a foundation of safety, adaptability, and intimacy with others.

The good news is that we can change, regardless of our early or current life experiences.

"As we heal and move toward Secure attachment," teaches Heller, "we become aware of triggers and patterns in our relationships. Our nervous system learns to be more regulated. Things don't throw us off so easily. And we open our capacity to love and experience greater compassion."

Through key principles, examples, and practical exercises, this program invites you to begin your own healing journey toward healthy vulnerability, wholeness, and connection with others.

Great book

I would recommend you first read “Attached” by Levine and Heller. Then read this book, it’s better to have a basis or orientation of your attachment style first. Then this book gives great exercises to help you move to a more secure attachment style.

Exceptional!

Diane is a master in her field. I loved the clarity that she brings to the subject, and the myriad of examples that she offers. Her delivery is ecceptional. It was as if I was having a conversation with her, not listening to a lecture. I strongly recommend this audio.

Wish i read this at 16

Such an amazing resource at any juncture. This book was a game changer in my ability to move forward.

Lov it

Me encantó la sencillez con la explica conceptos abstractos y los ejemplos prácticos con los que cada lector puede autoevaluarse y enriquecerse . Un libro con información valiosa sobre el desarrollo humano.

Very healing and caring book

Diane Poole Heller is so knowledgeable and not at all superficial, as some of the books here may be.
It is clear that she has a vast knowledge from her own clinical practice and research that poors in to the text.
And the exercises are amazingly good. It's not just talk but also practice, which I like very much: you just dont get anywhere from just listen, you have to do the work to change.

My only regret is that this is the only one - I could listen to many more books from her - even more in-depth. For example relating to each attachment style or other topics.

Highly Recommended

I love how much time she devoted to discussing the fearful avoidant/dismissive attachment style. Excellent book, it has helped me move forward in my own healing.

Fantastic book!

The author not only provides an excellent content for really understanding attachment styles, but also walks you through many different ways to work through attachment difficulties. I must say having the author present this book brought much more clarity and meaning. Her compassion for the content comes through and her presentation is excellent. This author is easily 5 stars. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to grow in this area.

Must read if you struggle with relationships

Gained insight into who I am within relationships. Enjoyed the read and feel more clarity.

Really good and helpful book about attachment styles. Great lectures to get you to recognize patterns and triggers.

Loved it

I’ve known about attachment for a long time. This book really helped me understand practical ways to work on my disorganized attachment and release shame about desiring a partner to be supportive as I take this journey.
