Book excerpt: This book is about how to heal the aspects that unconsciously get in the way for people to enjoy healthy relationships. While research shows that relationships are the main source of happiness, they can also bring a lot of pain to people's lives. Why does that happen? Because unfortunately it is not all a matter of love. Unfortunately close to half percent of the general population, it means people like you and me, struggle with relationships issues. Now there is scientific information about what causes it and how to go about it so we don't have to continue to hurt each other or spin around in vicious cycle. And that is what this book is all about. Most people think it is a problem of communication, but it is not. That is a symptom. The real problem is the attachment style that people have and the combinations people make. People are complex human beings and therefore so are relationships. Most people have complex psychological histories that are far from ideal and without self awareness and some work, they are prompt to just repeat those patterns and get in their on way. That is what this book is all about. About awareness and if you are motivated enough you can follow the pathway to change the aspects that you can and accept with compassion the ones that we cannot (about your and your partner).In this book you won't find quick fixes, magic solutions or easy steps that will get you the love you want right after you finish reading it. There are plenty of excellent books out there by the experts in the relationships field. The problem is that most people cannot follow the wonderful advice because there are some deeper underlying issues that need to be addressed before that: your attachment style. In general, your attachment unconsciously determines your thoughts, needs, emotions ...so in the same way that people can't just stop drinking or using drugs, in the same way people can't just follow the advice from a book. That would be great! We need some preparation work, so you don't end up defeated or more frustrated.That is why this book different: It contains basic and powerful information about how attachment theory explains the way we feel and behave in relationships, how even though certain matches don't seem to be what we want at first sight might be what we need in the end, and the pathway with many exercises to put in practice individually and with a partner (if available) to achieve long term results. So the love science made it simple for anybody to get a quick grab of it and hands on practices to start working right away... you won't get lost understanding the deep concepts and give up half way.And finally, because you won't find all the solutions by reading this book, it provides you with enough awareness and information through out so you can determine if professional help is needed and how to look for it. Let's be realistic, not most people will get the results wanted just by reading a book (some will), but you will definitely gain understanding of the problem and options to solve it.Our style of attachment affects everything from our partner selection to how well our relationships progress to, sadly, how they end. That is why recognizing our attachment pattern can help us understand our strengths and vulnerabilities in a relationship. An attachment pattern is established in early childhood attachments and continues to function as a working model for relationships in adulthood.Ah! and if that isn't enough.... let me tell you that by improving your attachment style, you won't only improve your relationships but your overall wellbeing. A secure attachment style significantly determines your health, happiness and capacity for finding balance in life. So get it now and once for all find out why you are the way you are and some aspects of your life don't go the way you wish.

Book excerpt: “Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle. Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: • 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. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? No one wants to admit that they possess these qualities; but if you find yourself constantly on the alert, anxious, or worried when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences. In Insecure in Love, you'll learn how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns and respond to them in a nurturing way—rather than beating yourself up. You’ll also learn how insecurity can negatively affect healthy dialog between you and your partner (or potential partners) and develop the skills needed to stop you from reverting back to old patterns of neediness and possessiveness. If you suffer from anxious attachment, you probably know that you need to change, and yet you have remained stuck. With compassionate self-awareness, you can successfully explore old anxiety-perpetuating perceptions and habits without being overwhelmed or paralyzed by them. By understanding the psychological factors at the root of your attachment anxiety, you will learn to cultivate secure, healthy relationships to last a lifetime. If you’re ready to stop getting stuck in the same hurtful relationship patterns and finally break the cycle of heartache, this book can show you how to get the love you deserve—and keep it!

Book excerpt: Do you find it difficult to maintain a successful romantic relationship? Do you see the same behavior patterns emerge in your relationships from time to time? Are you constantly worried that everything will end in a heartbreak? Is it possible to predict in advance the probability of a relationship's success or failure? Whether we are aware of it or not, our childhood experiences play a huge role in producing the type of people we become. The relationships we experience as children, with our parents or other primary caregivers, have a profound effect on how we react to situations throughout our lives; and how we interact with the people around us. As young children, we instinctively respond to the type of love and support offered by our parents or carers. While a strong bond with our primary caregiver is critical to our development in these early years, any difficulties resulting from this attachment can lead to problems with relationships and self-image in later life. In fact, dysfunctional or incorrect dysfunctional attachment patterns can lead us to make poor emotional choices, or enter dysfunctional and unstable relationships that can be characterized by violence, oppression or submission. Human relationships can give rise to the constant presence of fear of abandonment, associated with controlling behaviors, a continuous search for reassurance, emotional hyper-vigilance and sometimes even emotional blackmail. Whether you like it or not, attachment styles inevitably determine intimate relationships between people. Knowing what they are, and managing them efficiently, guarantees you a positive and stable vision of your relationships for life. We recommend that you read this book if your relationship is characterized by: • Dissatisfaction and/or high levels of conflict. • Obsessiveness, intrusiveness, jealousy and mistrust. • A strong desire for fusion and concern about rejection and abandonment. • Interpersonal distance. • A low level of emotional involvement. • Intimacy issues and an inability to have fun or thrive in sexual relationships. Don't worry if you identify with all or some of these conditions. The patterns and beliefs that we develop as children, although often deeply rooted in our psyche, can be unlearned and replaced with positive beliefs and approaches that allow you to embark on a more constructive path through life. Have you ever heard of the inner voice? You may constantly ask yourself these questions: • "Why would anyone be interested in me?" • I'm not up to it! • But do you love me enough? • What if you abandon me? • What if he's cheating on me? • I can't be without him! If, however, you do not face such problems, you will bring their negative influence into your life, leading to the unwanted and repetitive situations that you have become familiar with. What if I told you that there is a way to silence this little voice? Understanding how to get rid of attachment problems is one of the most satisfying and valuable things you can do for yourself. You will open the door to a greater sense of self-esteem, successful friendships, strong family ties and long-lasting and loving romantic relationships. If you are tired of living a life full of complicated and painful relationships, and would like to move beyond insecure attachment to a more fulfilling and joyful life, this book is for you. It's time to break the cycle of unhealthy relationships and create a life that you love. Order your copy today and start your journey to a more secure and fulfilling future.

Do you see the same behaviour patterns in yourself emerging in your relationships, time and time again? Are you constantly worried that everything will end in heartbreak? Is it possible to predict the likelihood of the success or failure of a relationship in advance? Whether we are aware of it or not, our childhood experiences play a huge role in forming the kind of people that we become. The relationships that we have had as children with our parents, or other primary caregivers, have a profound effect on how we react to any given situation in our lives; and, how we interact with the people around us. As small children, we instinctively respond to the kind of love and support offered by our parents or guardians. While a strong bond with our primary caregiver is fundamental to our development in these early years, any difficulties arising from this attachment can lead to problems with relationships and self-image in later life. In fact, unworked or incorrect dysfunctional attachment models can lead us to make poor emotional choices, or enter into dysfunctional and unstable relationships that may be characterised by violence, oppression or submission. Human relationships can give rise to the constant presence of a fear of abandonment, associated with control behaviours, a continuous search for reassurance, emotional hypervigilance and sometimes even emotional blackmail. Whether you like it or not, attachment styles inevitably shape intimate relationships between people. Knowing what they are and managing them efficiently guarantees you a positive and stable outlook on your relationships for life. This book is suggested reading if your relationship is characterized by: · Dissatisfaction and/or high levels of conflict. · Obsessiveness, intrusiveness, jealousy and distrust. · A strong desire for fusion and concern about rejection and abandonment. · Interpersonal distance. · A low level of emotional involvement. · Problems with intimacy, and an inability to enjoy or flourish within sexual relationships. Don’t worry if you identify with all or any of these issues. The patterns and beliefs we develop as children, although often deeply rooted in our psyche, can be unlearned and replaced with positive beliefs and approaches that allow you to take a more constructive path through life. If, however, you don't address such issues, then you will carry their negative influence with you, leading to the unwelcome and repetitive situations that you have become familiar with. Fortunately, David Lawson, based on the work of his predecessors, has developed a book with which he has helped many people to recognise their role in early childhood relationships, and then to use this recognition to project the future success of their romantic or intimate relationships. So, even if your emotional life and its impact on your relationships is not as you would like it to be, it is possible to assess, comprehend and eventually work to OVERCOME your situation. Understanding how to release attachment issues is one of the most satisfying and valuable things you can do for yourself. You will open the doors to a greater sense of self-worth, successful friendships, strong family ties and lasting and loving romantic relationships.

Book excerpt: Your past could be ruining your present relationships. Here's how to fix it: Do all your relationships seem to follow the same pattern, no matter who you're with? Do you encounter similar issues from relationship to relationship? Do you think you've found the one but worry that you're doomed to relive the same relationship problems with them? No matter how much you want to have a problem-free relationship, it's inevitable to run into some issues along the way. But when your problems keep repeating themselves and are damaging your bond with your partner, you will need to look beyond your current issues and dive deep into the past. In psychology, attachment theory explains adult relationships through the lens of parent-child relationships. According to this theory, we develop attachment patterns with parents and caregivers in early childhood that influence how we relate to others as adults. Your attachment styles can also determine the type of person you gravitate to in relationships, since you are looking to have your needs met in a certain way. This can sometimes result in destructive relationships if partners are unable to have their needs met in the way they prefer. If you want to have a better, healthier relationship than your previously disastrous ones, you will need to understand your partner's attachment styles, as well as your own, and how these can interact in harmony. In Reattached In Love, you will discover: How you could be unconsciously sabotaging your relationships and destroying your chance at lasting love 3 straightforward steps to figure out your attachment style and understand the deep-rooted motivations behind your actions The attachment style that can leave you feeling frustrated and ignored, especially when things get tough in your relationship Why a seemingly happy and generous partner may be privately harboring resentment towards you How to identify your partner's attachment style and avoid unnecessary conflicts due to a difference in needs The secret to achieving a solid, secure relationship that will provide a stable foundation for your children to build their own relationships The worst thing you can do when communicating your feelings to your partner, and what you should do instead How to finally get over that ex you've been hung up on forever, without resorting to rebounds or self-medication And much more. Everyone comes into a relationship with their own emotional baggage. No one leaves childhood and adolescence completely unscathed. There are bound to be past hurts and trauma from your parents, school, and other experiences while growing up that still influence how you react to difficult situations today. Understanding that every individual comes from a different place emotionally, and acknowledging that there is a way to bridge the gap between your differences, is the first step to having a mature and enduring relationship. When you learn to work through each other's deeply ingrained insecurities and fears, you can break out of harmful ways of thinking and behaving that you've grown used to for years. Your past does not have to define your future. Break out of your destructive attachment patterns and develop a satisfying relationship with someone who deserves you.
