I thoroughly enjoyed this book! A lot of it is very applicable to the work I do as a counselor, and it helped me gain more insights about how attachments impact relational functioning.

I realized that I have a tendency to lean more on the side of "You need to be independent and not rely too much on your partner," but this book helped me recognize that some level of dependency is normal! It's okay for people to know what their relational needs are and to seek out a partner who can meet those needs.

I enjoyed that it addressed how both avoidant and anxiously attached individuals can communicate their needs while also make changes to embrace more secure principles. I also found it helpful to learn more about the qualities of securely attached individuals!
