Do you find yourself in the same types of relationships and dealing with the same or similar problems, no matter who you are dating? During conflict, do you notice that one of you leans in and the other leans out? Do you and your partner have trouble understanding each other’s behaviors and needs during moments of high emotion or intimacy? Although many factors contribute to the dynamics of a romantic relationship, one’s attachment style has a significant impact.

Attached breaks down the science of attachment theory and how it applies to adult relationships. The book provides psychoeducation on the three main attachment styles: secure, anxious, and avoidant; it guides readers toward an understanding of their own attachment style and the ways in which they show up in romantic relationships.

When people talk about forgiveness, it’s usually geared towards forgiving others; an ex partner or friend, a family member who wronged you, a bully, a dog who chewed up your shoe, etc. Forgiveness towards oneself is not as commonly discussed.
