Useful Techniques!!
I bought this book when I was repeating the same cycle in relationships and discovered that I develop an anxious attachment to people. I would’ve never thought it had to do with the support I received when I was so young. The book has made me think about my childhood in ways I would’ve never linked together with my anxious attachment style. Jessica Baum has given me so many techniques to become secure in any relationship, that I will recommend this book over and over again to anyone looking to do deep inner work to heal themselves!

I’ve learned so much about myself
This book honestly started to validate all my experiences after only a few pages in. I feel like it’s become so much clear to me why I’m the way I am and the steps I can take to heal. I’m still in the process of reading, but I’m already so hopeful about the changes and self discovery I’ve made.

Amazing book
I had a “intuitive feeling” one day that I needed to go to bookstore and I didn’t know why. I picked up many books and thought no. Then picked up this book and read one page and thought this is the one. I began reading that day and I couldn’t put it down. I’ve never felt so incredibly understood along with being given actual tools and support to help with healing something that was very broken in me causing me to have a very anxious attachment style. I’m so beyond thankful for this book, my anxiety and dysfunctional responses in my relationship have improved so much it’s unbelievable and I also feel I can understand my partner so much better because he is avoidant and she discusses this at length. Thank you Jessica

My Favorite Book I've read
Reading this book gave me such a comprehensive and optimistic look at not only how everybody has a different type of attachment. But also just how our world works with abandonment, our caregiver's relationships, and anxiety. I am only 15 years old but have already realized the true struggles with anxiety, abandonment, and strong anxious attachments. I have felt lost, scared, ashamed, and extremely confused, but reading this book gave me true comfort, support, knowledge, passion, and curiosity to learn more about our inner nurturer as well as outer. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have found this book and to have gained a supportive community.

I can’t believe how amazing this is!!!
I’m only halfway through and all I can say is WOW! I cannot recommend this enough. If you are ready to do some work to actually heal… This book helps in so many ways, and is so easy to read and understand. I honestly don’t know how she took such a difficult and deep topic, and wrote a book for you to basically do at home therapy work on your own. I had a breakthrough doing the second exercise that I haven’t achieved yet in all my years of therapy. Perhaps I wasn’t ready before. But the wording and guided DIY provided in this book helped me feel something that I locked away 2 decades ago. If you want to stop looking for outside sources to fulfill you and learn, practice, and FEEL what it’s like to be able to comfort yourSELF ~ if you’re ready to feel real love and stability in yourSELF , GET THIS BOOK! I literally want to gift this book to everybody I love .. I hope there’s help like this for the other attachment styles as well. If not ~ Jessica, please help that to become a thing !!!
