I liked this book and agree with other readers who like Diane’s compassionate tone. I wish there was more on anxious attachment - which she calls ambivalent attachment.

I think this is a really good read for anyone in any stage of a relationship. It helps you understand so much about yourself and the people around you. It’s a really digestible read and not hard to understand

I liked this book for its approach. After reading "Attached", I was a little lost and sad. This book helped me better understand avoidant and disorganized attachment styles and how to work towards finding a secure relationship.

i'd already known that i have an ambivalent attachment pattern and picked up this book to understand myself further. not only did i accomplish that, but the book also came with exercises to help and skills to hone that will ultimately help me achieve secure attachment! i recommend this book to everyone.

Diane Poole Heller is a trusted and expert voice in the world of attachment. What sets this book apart from other books on attachment is the Diane's natural voice is one of calm and compassion which takes the sensitive nature of this topic and lowers the readers defenses so they can go on a journey with her.
She explores attachment styles, how trauma damages the important connections in our lives and how we can make our way to restoration and resiliency.
Se comes from a position that we are fundamentally created to heal. I walked away from this book believing her and having learned something critical to an integrated life.
Whether you are new to attachment and learning about your attachment style or a seasoned practitioner you will glean wisdom from this book.
The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

Maybe the exercises are not my style or the literature got repetitive but I ended the book feeling like I only got half of what it was trying to do. I did enjoy the detail that the attachment styles went into and how to be in a relationship with different kinds.
