From our earliest years, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, replaying in our daily emotional landscape, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves. And in the wake of a traumatic event - such as a car accident, severe illness, loss of a loved one, or experience of abuse - that attachment style can deeply influence what happens next.

In The Power of Attachment, Dr. Diane Poole Heller, a pioneer in attachment theory and trauma resolution, shows how overwhelming experiences can disrupt our most important connections - with the parts of ourselves within, with the physical world around us, and with others.

The good news is that we can restore and reconnect at all levels, regardless of our past.

Here, you'll learn key insights and practices to help you restore the broken connections caused by trauma; get embodied and grounded in your body; integrate the parts of yourself that feel wounded and fragmented; emerge from grief, fear, and powerlessness to regain strength, joy, and resiliency; and reclaim access to your inner resources and spiritual nature.

Boring. A lot of telling. Could have been great with storytelling. Regardless, it’s important information for growth.

Excellent Practical Material

I really liked how this book broke down the different attachment types. I did not care for the speaker. She was very computer like.

Great topic, boring speaker

This was a very introspective journey.

I appreciated the explanations and descriptions are given for each attachment type, along with examples of what it looks like in partnerships along with the visualizations to truly process how you feel.

For a long time, I knew that there were things that made me uncomfortable in my relationships. But I couldn’t figure out the source. During this listen, I was able to truly sit down with myself and examen my early life and realize that the “nurture” part of life brought me here.

I would and have recommend this book to friends and family and intend on listening again this spring,
