Book Club: “Attached”
My September Book Club recommended is “Attached” by Amir Levine and Rachel S.F. Heller.
This book is an understanding of an adult attachment that can help us find and sustain love. In this book it describes the three different attachment styles; anxious, avoidant and secure.
“ANXIOUS people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back.
AVOIDANT people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.
SECURE people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.”
“Also central to the science of attachment is the discovery that our need to be in a close relationship is embedded in our genes; so, contrary to what many relationship experts today may tell us about the importance of remaining emotionally “self-sufficient”, attachment research shows us that our need to be close to our partner is essential. That, in fact, we can’t live without it.”
This book is a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people you love.
Which attachment style are you? Are you different ones depending on the circumstances or person?
