Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love by Jessica Baum
3.0
do not let the title fool you - this is almost entirely about romantic relationships rather than life as a whole. with that out of the way, I do think this book provides some valuable information and perspectives on anxious and avoidant attachment styles. it relies heavily on meditation and inner work to come to resolutions, which I personally am unable to connect with, but for those that can this would be a great source of healing. the questions the author poses and the example cases could give anyone pause and reason to consider their own attachment style.
my one gripe about this book is the author, also a therapist, claims there are only three attachment styles: anxious, avoidant and secure - I find this to be totally inaccurate, as being a disorganized style myself, it leaves out a group of potentially lost and confused individuals seeking reassurance when they feel they have a sprinkle of both avoidance and anxiety.
