About this audiobook

Are you struggling hard to shake off the worry of suspecting your partner, but haven't yet been able to do it because you don't know how to control negative emotions?Are you a slave to jealousy or terrified of abandonment?Would you like to change your existing relationship and destroy the anger, stress and anxiety that you deal with every day?

Attachment styles are the way in which we connect with other people. They are generally developed by infants and further refined by children, adolescents and adults.

People with anxious attachment may show signs of:

◆ Jealousy and frustration when their partner is inattentive or unavailable.

◆ A strong fear of rejection, criticism and abandonment.

◆ A strong desire for a relationship and intimacy and a hard time being alone.

◆ Seeking approval and reassurance from others.

◆ Clingy and needy behaviour in relationships.

◆ Lacking a strong sense of self & low self-esteem.

◆ Becoming extremely upset when receiving disapproval.

◆ Over analysing and worrying excessively about relationships.

◆ Being overly sensitive to a partner’s actions and moods.

◆ Being highly emotional, impulsive, unpredictable and moody.

The good news is that you can change the attachment style. It may take time, work and a great deal of understanding from people in life. However, it is possible to build intimate, secure relationships that are fulfilling and give you a sense of fulfilment.
Understanding and managing the wounds of attachment is the best gift that you can give to your relationship.

Ratings and reviews

Not concise. Seems like a collection of rambling writings about the topic, which was not insightful and offered information that other books cover better. I was disappointed as i hoped to learn something new about the topic, or at least get reminded of important things i may have forgotten about this topic - sadly, neither of that came to pass and it was disappointing till the end.
