Attachment Theory

A Guide to Strengthening the Relationships in Your Life

By: Thais Gibson

Narrated by: LaQuita James

In order to improve closeness and intimacy in all relationships, it is important to first understand the clear parallels between adult behavior and childhood experiences. Attachment Theory combines traditional teachings with knowledge of subconscious patterns to provide powerful tools for powerful change.

Through interactive quizzes, wrap-up summaries, and real strategies you can implement in your daily life, you'll learn the tools needed to reprogram the outdated beliefs causing chaos in your life and relationships - romantic, platonic, or familial.

Inside Attachment Theory, you'll find:

• What's your style? - Begin with the four basic attachment theory styles - Dismissive-Avoidant, Fearful-Avoidant, Anxious Attachment, and Secure Attachment.
• The best methods - Using the three primary forms of therapy - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and RAIN (Recognition, Acceptance, Investigation, Non-Identification) - you'll begin to reprogram your subconscious mind.
• Old meets new - Learn through a mix of traditional psychological methodologies and new, cutting edge techniques of attachment theory.

Highly Recommend to Therapists & Social Workers

This was a very good book! I would highly recommend this book to therapists and social workers or those who are students who are going into the field. This book talks about CBT, and EFT which are very good to use in therapy sessions. It also talks about triggers and the deeper meaning of each attachment theory and how each one can show up in a relationship AND provides examples and doesn't make you guess or try to figure out what the author means.

Good basic info but terrible narration

This was just not a good narrator match. It felt agitating and like I was being talked at. The info was good basic info on attachment theory and was worth finishing the book. I liked the attached PDF as well!

An informative Listen

I liked how they broke down each attachment style. I appreciate the length of the book cause I got through it quickly.

Mrs. Gibson is a top of class educator on attachment theory.

This book is an overview of Gibsons extensive resource library of how to recognize, and improve insecure attachment in relationships. She is a foremost resource in this field. Highly recommend.

Good explanation. Terrible narration

I found the explanation of Attachment Theory simplified and accurate. Useful information on how to overcome negative attachment styles. Well done! The narration was extremely difficult to listen to. I found the content interesting, so I painfully listened to the entire book. The narrator grossly mispronounced important words in the theory, and her tone was awful. Looking forward to seeing the resources on the site mentioned. Will purchase a hard copy of the book.
