You may have experienced this before: after a breakup, you find yourself constantly worrying about your ex's feelings and whether they're thinking about you, while simultaneously pushing away any potential new partners.

It's not a coincidence - this pattern of behavior is a hallmark of an anxious-avoidant attachment style.

Your attachment style, formed in childhood, can have a profound impact on your adult relationships.

"The way we attach to our romantic partners is the way we learned to attach to our parents or caregivers," explains psychologist and attachment expert Dr. Amir Levine.

For those with an anxious-avoidant attachment style, also known as fearful-avoidant, relationships can feel like a constant push and pull.

You crave intimacy and closeness, but fear getting hurt or rejected.

As a result, you may find yourself oscillating between clingy, needy behavior and cold, distant withdrawal.

This inconsistent behavior can be confusing and frustrating for both you and your partner.

It's a cycle that can leave you feeling trapped and hopeless.

But, your attachment style doesn't have to define your relationships forever.

With self-awareness and the right tools, you can learn to form secure, healthy attachments.

In fact, a breakthrough study by Dr. Phillip Shaver found that it's possible to change your attachment style through conscious effort and practice.

This book will guide you through that process.

You'll gain a deep understanding of how your anxious-avoidant attachment style developed and how it impacts your relationships.

You'll learn practical strategies for communicating your needs, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating a more secure sense of self.

Most importantly, you'll explore that you are worthy of love and capable of giving and receiving it fully.
