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

Workbooks are great for self improvement. This book has very helpful information and is easy to understand and work through. I have gotten multiple workbooks recently. I think it’s important we all work on bettering ourselves and healing any trauma or wounds we have. Many of us have learned unhealthy behaviors growing up and books like these help us change and become healthier. Loving yourself is super important and I promise you when you heal yourself you attract better company. Some manipulative people can see vulnerability in people and that’s how we end up in toxic relationships. When we have healed and know boundaries we put ourself first and won’t stand for that crap. I find these books very helpful. I’m happy. 👍

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!

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!

Loved this book. Really helped me learn a lot. I liked the exercises in it although I couldn't do them all.Because i'm not in a relationship anymore, but it helped me see the other side of things and helped me see. I was doing things I didn't know I was doing. Very helpful book.I would suggest it to anyone

I am one chapter in and it's already changed the way I think and given me hope. I absolutely love how this author/therapist writes and organizes her book. It's a fantastic workbook where you can interact immediately with the easy to understand content. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing a book on attachment the theory and this book kept coming up at the top of the recommended lists and I can totally see why. I usually don't write a review until I've read a book, but I can already tell based on just one chapter that this is the precisely what I needed. I am a super picky reader and as a teacher, I have very high standards when it comes to the organization of content at the end, how to present the content in easy to understand, applicable and relevant ways. Thus book exceeds my expectations!

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!

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.

Very great book to own. Highly recommended

Why I didn't buy it years ago? This book helped me a LOT. After first 50 pages I understood so much about my difficulties in relationships that my constant fights with my boyfriend completely stoped, we were close to break up now we are engaged. My life changed so much in many areas. This book point out my problems (anxious attachment style) and also showed me how to actually solve them. I improved also few others relationships in my life. I stopped fighting with my boss (got pay rise also). It all sounds like too good to be true, because most of "self-help books" are useless, but this one is something different. Highly, highly recommended!

Um bom livro sobre a teoria do apego, possui inúmeros exercícios para serem feitos e te ajudam a elaborar suas emoções e comportamentos sobre relacionamentos

After learning about my anxious attachment style, I had sought to try and "fix" it. Amusingly the book tells you not to get too obsessed with it from the get go and recognises that anxious styles can sometimes get hyperfocused on fixing/solutionising things. This workbook made me understand more about myself and the hurt, stress and pain that I directly and indirectly cause to others. It's written in easy to understand concepts with exercises that get to the root of you, your feelings in those moments that trigger your attachment style. There is less of the medical, psychological jargon as compared to other attachment theory books. In essence, it is more grounded as it hits the nail on its head versus going a roundabout way of explaining your anxious attachment style and then leave you hanging - which ironically is self soothing to me versus leaving an open ended answer of a medical journal or study. It is written in a highly reassuring way which anxious attachment styles crave for and thus allowing one to be more open to recognising, accepting, healing and making that change for themselves and eventually for others too.

Very helpful for clients, great exercises

Needs urgent editorial intervention. The content is mainly there and one can certainly recognise the sincerity of the intentions. Some of the questions do make you think deeply. But the address changes continuously between the person with the insecure attachment and the person dealing with another's insecure attachment, giving a whiplash and leaving the reader utterly confused. Also such errors like I'm stressed when I am...~list of feelings~ one of which is... stressed! Most of the examples feel trite and stilted. Over-representation of woke agenda. If the book had been good, this wouldn't have rankled at all, but as it isn't, it feels like more effort has been expended on the representation rather than content coherence.
