Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure,
desperate, or jealous? No one wants to admit that they possess
these qualities; but if you find yourself constantly on the alert,
anxious, or worried when it comes to your significant other, you
may suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that is
often rooted in early childhood experiences. In "Insecure in Love,"
you'll learn how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate
self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your
negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns and respond to
them in a nurturing way--rather than beating yourself up. You'll
also learn how insecurity can negatively affect healthy dialog
between you and your partner (or potential partners) and develop
the skills needed to stop you from reverting back to old patterns
of neediness and possessiveness.
If you suffer from anxious attachment, you probably know that
you need to change, and yet you have remained stuck. With
compassionate self-awareness, you can successfully explore old
anxiety-perpetuating perceptions and habits without being
overwhelmed or paralyzed by them. By understanding the
psychological factors at the root of your attachment anxiety, you
will learn to cultivate secure, healthy relationships to last a
lifetime. If you're ready to stop getting stuck in the same hurtful
relationship patterns and finally break the cycle of heartache,
this book can show you how to get the love you deserve--and keep
it
Go beyond your fear of rejection to develop confidence,
compassionate self-awareness, and resilience! Do you have a fear of
rejection? If so, you aren't alone. But if you have difficulty
bouncing back after rejection, experience intense pain as a result,
or if the fear of rejection is so crippling that it interferes with
your everyday life, it's time to make a change. This groundbreaking
guide can help. With this book, you'll learn why you fear rejection
by gaining an understanding of your unique attachment style. Secure
attachment is defined as a feeling of being protected and
well-cared for. People who experience secure attachment as young
children are more likely to be happy, healthy, and resilient
adults. On the other hand, insecurely attached people are less
likely to cope well with rejection, and may have trouble "bouncing
back" after difficult experiences. Once you understand how your
attachment style has informed your fears, you can begin the work
needed to overcome them! Using the theory of attachment, and the
five domains of awareness: Sensations, Thoughts, Emotions, Actions,
and Mentalizing (STEAM), you'll learn to relate to yourself and to
others in more positive ways, even when difficult situations arise.
So, whether you experience rejection in a romantic relationship, at
work, or with friends, you'll have the resilience needed to recover
quickly and focus on what makes you special and unique. This isn't
a book that promises to protect you from future rejection.
Unfortunately, rejection happens to everyone and is a normal part
of life. But you will learn skills to handle this rejection and
come to see it as less scary. With this view, you'll gain
confidence, self-awareness, and the resilience needed to bounce
back, even when life throws you a curveball.
