TETHERED ANXIOUSLY

For people who have anxiety in their love relationships, a roadmap for establishing solid and stable partnerships.

A million Americans, or more, are said to have an anxious attachment style, which can make partnerships difficult and emotionally draining for them. Anxious people are more likely to exhibit insecurities, jealousy, co-dependency, and other behaviors that prevent them from forming and maintaining lasting relationships. In Anxiously Attached, a seasoned psychotherapist and couple counselor leads readers through identifying their attachment style at its heart and developing the inner strength and self-love that will lead them to more secure and fulfilling relationships.
With the help of the trademarked Self-full Method, which Doreen J. Lerch developed over the years in private practice, her clients have been able to leave the harmful neurotic attachment roller coaster and establish the secure, enduring relationships they deserve. What the reader will learn to do is:
• Establish limits to safeguard their sense of independence in interpersonal interactions.
• Communicate to their partner what they need to feel safe and protected in their relationship.
• Gain a full understanding of the subtle ways in which their neurological system influences their relationships.
• Acquire knowledge about the actual meaning of a healthy, interdependent relationship and how to start one with their current or prospective partner.
• Find a compassionate way to recover via activities like meditation exercises, where they can begin to get a better understanding of their inner world.
• Acquire a thorough awareness of the incredibly frequent anxious-avoidant dance that occurs with intimacy issues.
