Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if everything you learned about attachment styles was only half the story?Attached gave millions of readers a language for the pain of love. It named the anxious spiral when a text goes unanswered, the avoidant impulse to flee when someone gets too close, the confusing push-pull of wanting intimacy while fearing it. But for many readers, that language became a prison. "I'm anxious, so I'm doomed." "My partner is avoidant, so we're incompatible." "I need to find a secure partner, but I don't know how, and meanwhile I feel worse about myself than before."Better Attachment begins where Attached stopped. This is not a book about finding a secure partner. It is a book about becoming a secure self.Drawing on the latest research in interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems, and trauma-informed therapy, this book offers a radical reframe: your attachment style is not an identity. It is an adaptive strategy-a brilliant solution your nervous system created to keep you safe in an environment that once did not reliably meet your needs. The anxious part of you that scans for rejection is not broken. The avoidant part that withdraws when overwhelmed is not cold. They are protectors who learned their roles for good reason.Through practical exercises, somatic regulation practices, inner working model audits, parts work dialogues, and conversation scripts, Secure Within guides you through the real work of earned security. You will learn to regulate your nervous system before you date, to befriend the anxious protector and the avoidant exile within you, to rewrite the stories you tell about love, and to practice the skills secure partners use-bids, repair, and co-regulation.This book also widens the lens beyond the narrow confines of mainstream attachment discourse. It honors the role of trauma, race, class, gender, and sexuality in shaping how we attach. It explores non-monogamy, singlehood, and chosen family as legitimate paths to secure connection. It recognizes that the secure base is not a single romantic partner but a dynamic system of relationships.The goal is not to find someone who will make you secure. The goal is to become the safe harbor you have been seeking. The goal is to discover that you are not your attachment style-you are the person who can learn to become secure within.
