Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Do you constantly talk with your friends about your partner and your relationship? If your partner doesn't answer a text quickly, do you become anxious? Or do you check up on your partner online to know about their every move?

If so, you might identify with having an anxious attachment style and find yourself more prone to insecurity, jealousy and co-dependency. But there is plenty you can do to feel stronger and more secure within yourself and improve the quality of your relationships.

Expert psychotherapist and couples' counsellor Jessica Baum has over 10 years' experience helping her clients discover the mutually supportive relationships they deserve. In Anxiously Attached, she shares the groundbreaking research and practical tools you need to understand your core attachment patterns and form healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

In this book, you will learn how to:

  • Create boundaries to safeguard your sense of self in relationships
  • Communicate to your partners what you need to feel safe and secure in the relationship
  • Develop a secure sense of self-worth and emotional stability

Full of psychological insight, useful exercises and real-life case studies of people who learned how to connect on a deeper and more secure level, Anxiously Attached is an essential road map to finding and sustaining love.

An amazing book that truly does make a difference

After recently having a hunch that my attachment style was anxiously attached I came across this book and it sounded perfect for this time in my life.

After feeling abandoned after my 11 year relationship ended without warning, I was thrown into the world of dating as an adult for the first time. Spending so long with one person from the age of 15 gave me a lot of unrealistic expectations from others which meant that I was becoming anxiously attached to whoever I was dating out of fear of abandonment.
I recognized the problem and needed to understand what this meant and what I could do.

This book was perfect, it’s hard to put into words how much it helped me. I will definitely be listening to this book again and again throughout my life. There are many books out there that touch the basics and repeat things that you hear again and again but Anxiously Attached was much more meaningful and clearly came from someone who knew what they were on about and wanted to help others first of all.
100% recommend to everyone because even if you are not anxiously attached, you may know someone who is and understanding how they feel benefits both of you.

Authentic and dives deep into the subject

This book had me in tears in the first chapter. Every part of it took me on a personal growth journey. I have learnt so much about myself. Thank you

It feels so much clearer now

I have identified my attachment style and this book has helped me with navigating in any tricky situation in which I would feel overwhelmed. I even tried the free mediation on the website which are amazing.

Great listen

I liked the structure but I am not one for long meditation so the exercises were not as useful to me as the rest of the book was.

Came across this audio book at just the right time

I have only just come across attachement types after a recent break up left me with a lot of questions about what happened. The audiobook has helped answer a lot of the activity and behaviour and given me tools to heal myself and start the next part of a journey in myself.

The author and narrator make this subject easy to listen to and gives some good guided mediatations to start the process of self love. I've listened on long walks and car drives and go back time and time again.

Accessible, gentle, powerful, fascinating and kind

Don’t hesitate, the author speaks to you like a best friend who gets whatever ‘it’ is for you and the kind, non-judgemental style makes the material accessible and engaging. Also useful for therapists, counsellors and fiction writers looking to do deeper character work.

Life changing book

Couldn’t recommend highly enough to those with an anxious attachment. It has such helpful practical steps and is narrated with such a compassionate tone that I found just listening to this extremely healing! Criminally underrated book!

Extremely eye opening

This was recommended to me by a girl that worked in a book shop. I was originally after another book however, i’m glad i ended up getting this. I feel like i couldn’t explain why i was feeling the way i was before.. it’s a great book if you’re willing to work on yourself
