Description
This book examines anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment often rooted in early childhood experiences, which can leave people feeling constantly alert, worried, jealous, needy or insecure in romantic relationships. It introduces compassionate self-awareness, a technique for recognizing negative thoughts and unhealthy behavior patterns and responding to them with understanding rather than self-criticism. Readers learn how insecurity can damage communication with current or potential partners and develop skills to avoid returning to possessive or dependent patterns. By exploring the psychological factors behind attachment anxiety, the book helps readers understand the perceptions and habits that keep them stuck, cultivate secure and healthy relationships, and break recurring cycles of heartache.
