The Power of Attachment: How to Create Deep and Lasting Intimate Relationships Paperback – March 12, 2019

Best book on attachment I've ever read. Its a short book that really packs a punch. The trauma informed view really makes things make sense - concepts are landing in a way they never have from other explanations. There are also practices in the book.

I find it difficult and emotional, like going through a grieving process, but ultimately very rewarding. The exercises are helpful, too.

And I've read many! This one has a wealth of knowledge and actionable tools to helpDevelop secure attachment if you have insecure attachment. I have found it invaluable for my work with clients as a relationship coach.

I wish I had this book 30 years ago really helps you understand different personality’s and how to communicate in a way that the message sent is the message received

This book has opened my eyes, during a very dark time, to me better understanding how I've come to be/act/operate. So appreciate this read!

Loved the breakdown in this book and how well explained to help understand the basics and more on attachments

Dr. Heller gets to the heart of relationship problems many adults like me have struggled with for years. Being a disciple of one of my favorite trauma therapists, Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Heller takes the often complex and thorny issue of attachment and explains it in a way that non-psychologists can easily understand. She outlines the three dysfunctional attachment styles (avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized) and explains their childhood origins, and also includes exercises to help readers develop the healthier and more desirable secure attachment style for their relationships.If, like me, you've dealt with one failed romantic relationship after another, especially with individuals who’ve compulsively lied, manipulated, or taken advantage of your kind and generous nature, this book will give you a different perspective on why those relationships were doomed to fail and what you can do about keeping future relationships from following the same path.

This book is very thorough and a wonderful way to find self development and healing in relationships and life. I am grateful for the support in finding my healing. Especially love the exercises.
