By: Jessica Baum LMHC

Narrated by: Jessica Baum LMHC

A road map for building strong and secure relationships for those who struggle with anxiety in their romantic connections.

An estimated 47 million Americans identify as having an anxious attachment style, which can make being in relationships turbulent and emotionally taxing for them. According to groundbreaking research in the field of attachment, anxious types are more prone to insecurity, jealousy, codependency, and other behaviors that get in the way of finding and sustaining love. In Anxiously Attached, seasoned psychotherapist and couples counselor Jessica Baum guides readers through understanding their attachment style at its core and building the inner strength and self-love that will lead them to more secure and satisfying relationships.

Developed over ten years in private practice, Baum’s signature Self-full® Method has helped her clients get off the toxic roller coaster of anxious attachment and discover the secure and mutually supportive relationships they deserve. In this book readers will learn how to:

Create boundaries to safeguard their sense of self-sovereignty in relationships

Communicate to their partners what they need to feel safe and secure in the relationship

Develop a secure sense of self-worth and emotional stability

Learn the true meaning of a healthy/interdependent relationship and how to establish one with their partner or future partner.

Discover a compassionate path towards healing through experiences like mediation practices where they can start to develop more insight into their internal landscape.

Attain a deep understanding of the anxious-avoidant dance that is extremely common in intimacy struggles.

Anxiously Attached offers a practical and holistic approach for overcoming anxious attachment issues to discover happier, more fulfilling relationships.

Helpful

This book helped me understand aspects of attachment I’d never considered. The only thing that disappointed me was I felt like there was an emphasis on ending current relationships in order to start healthy ones as if healing currently relationships was hardly a possibility.

This is [ the ] one.

I am approximately 2.5 hours into this book and I was quickly and uncharacteristically finding myself wanting to leave a review. It has proved quite difficult to find the words to express how I feel. In short, this book, although marketed to a generally anxiously- attached demographic of individuals, is much beyond just that. I would recommend this even to my avoidant attached friends, every one could take a nugget of knowledge from this book. Additionally the voice of the narrator is incredibly soothing. This book has inspired me so much so that I have sat for over an hour taking notes periodically of the concepts that breathe life into my weary inner-wounded child/ teenager. You wont regret it, it was 1,000% worth a credit. I look forward to recommending this book to so many people in my life. Lastly, if you are finding yourself in the trenches of depression in response to subconscious wounds showing up and creating blocks in your relationships, please give yourself some love and read this book.

Great book and set of resources

As much as the book itself the accompanying resources including meditations are powerful tools to help anyone understand their attachment style, patterns, and how to overcome negative or self-fulfilling cycles. Nice summary and builds on other work on attachment with a focus on those who are anxious in their relationships.

If you are serious self-work

Gave good insight into anxious attachment; what it is, where it originated in your past and how to deal with it.

Amazing book!

This book is for those with an anxious attachment and for those in relationship with people who are anxious. So helpful.
