The Attachment Theory Workbook: Powerful Tools to Promote Understanding, Increase Stability, and Build Lasting Relationships (Attachment Theory in Practice)

I'm a therapist, and not only have I recommended this workbook for couples, but also for individuals. It's an amazing workbook to enhance your therapy experience and to understand your internal process. I especially love the chapter that gives examples on how to support your partner who is deconstructing a particular attachment style. I first purchased the workbook in early 2024 and I came back here to recommend to another client. I thought it would only be right to write a review! LOL. I use this workbook in session and assign homework outside of session. I've even given the workbook as a gift!

Often times in life it's hard to let things go that may not be healthy for us. This workbook walks you through exercises on how to fix attachment issues and make your life a better situation.

The Attachment Theory Workbook is an outstanding resource for anyone seeking to understand how attachment styles influence their relationships and how to create greater emotional stability. The book breaks down complex psychological concepts into accessible language, making it perfect for both professionals and individuals on their personal growth journey.The exercises are insightful and actionable, helping readers identify their attachment style, explore the root causes of relational patterns, and develop healthier ways of connecting with others. I especially appreciated how the workbook provides practical tools for addressing insecurities, improving communication, and fostering trust in relationships.What sets this workbook apart is its compassionate tone. It encourages self-reflection without judgment, offering hope for positive change regardless of past experiences.Whether you're looking to strengthen your romantic relationships, deepen family bonds, or simply understand yourself better, this workbook is a valuable tool. Highly recommended for therapists, couples, and anyone seeking to improve their relational well-being!

This is a good catch all book for attachment styles. But I wish it went a bit more in depth with each specific style. It’s a good starter workbook, but my husband is avoidant and while it is challenging him a bit, it isn’t really driving home the points that I feel would help. Overall a good starter and my husband has stuck with it for about 2 weeks now. I’d say that in itself gives it a recommendation.

Attachment Theory is an easy to read book that helps you understand yourself and how your relationships work. It clearly explains the three attachment styles and how they shape both romantic and non-romantic connections.The Q&As make it feel personal, and the writing is simple and engaging. One of the biggest lessons I learned is that we can change our attachment styles once we truly understand them. The workbook provides a helpful guide for self-discovery, making it easier to build stronger relationships. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read Annie’s next one!

Good book

I had a therapist recommend me this workbook, and it was very helpful in helping me shift from an anxious to a secure attachment style. The book contains assessments, guidance, and exercises to work through - all of which were very helpful! My one major concern with this workbook though is that disorganized /fearful-avoidant attachment is not included. This is such a shame because those with a disorganized attachment style are often times overlooked due to the lower statistics, but they deserve equal support and care. Overall, I do recommend this book for those with a dismissing-avoidant or anxious attachment style - it was very helpful for me personally. Though, I do wish the authors could update the workbook to make it accessible to those with a disorganized attachment.

Oh my gosh this book is absolutely phenomenal. Of all the books that I purchased lately this is by far my favorite one. It's so well-written and so easy for me to understand as a fearful avoidant. Even though I already knew what I was it was really fun to take the tests just to see if I'd even progressed.The book hits you in the face with examples of things you never would have thought you were feeling, that will trigger memories but also speak to you in such a way that it's not to medical terminology. I think that anyone dealing with any kind of avoidance or even somebody who is dating a avoidant will really enjoy this book. I feel like I could hand this book to someone who's different for me and they could fill out different sections of the book and actually have a full book.This book gives me hope for the person I could be. I'll definitely be keeping it on my shelf to go back and read it a few more times. it even comes with blank extra pages so that you can redo all of your results over and over and over again I think I'm going to do it in a couple of months just to see how much I progress.My only advice is to take your time and read it slowly. I raced though it.I do agree with another (Mr. Logan) as a person who is a fearful avoidant with a cluster b parent it helped but I do think for our type another book will help more. I also had a harder time following because I've just come out of a relationship and am not in one currently. So some of the stuff was hard. It infact made me feel worse in many ways because I realized what I should have done. Which was buy this book BEFORE I messed up my last relationship.
