Jan 8, 2023 · “Attached” gave me the vocabulary of “Fearful Avoidant” to describe my experience, but effectively nothing else. When it said two avoidants would never be attracted to one another, it was like the authors had never actually spoken to any of us! Much of the book felt like it had just been pulled from their asses.

Jan 8, 2023 · I have been wanting to post my review for "Attached" for a long time, and finally have the opportunity to do so. I'm FA that currently leans DA, but I used to be a FA that used to lean severely AP. This book happened to be the very first I've read on attachment theory, and it got me into it. Buckle up, this is going to be a through review.

Jul 2, 2022 · I honestly feel that Attached is also very overrated. This is just my opinion. I've read the book many times over the years, and it was the book that introduced me into attachment theory and styles. I felt the book was quite harsh towards DA's, FA's got mentioned in like two sentences, which I felt was majorly unfair to us FA's.

Jan 15, 2020 · 99 votes, 12 comments. true. Hello! I recently made a post about attachment issues, a few of you highly recommended the book Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, I found a free PDF copy online (with a download option) and wanted to pass it along, I read the whole thing in one sitting, found it very insightful.

Mar 29, 2021 · This book is extremely dangerous as it literally has Secures as "good guys", Avoidants as "bad guys" and Anxious as "victims with good intentions". I started reading it with an open mind but kept having this feeling that the authors were painting with broad strokes and unfairly/ignorantly categorizing intentions.

You would probably need to write a whole book on it alone. And since it’s by far the smallest proportion in the society in a book aimed at the average person, there wasn’t enough space most likely.

May 23, 2022 · I'm weirdly attached to her, like I go to sleep thinking and imagining fake scenarios with her, I cannot go a day without reading at least one chapter about a book on her, every time there is a comfort scene I feel something weird in my stomach and the thing is I know she isnt real, like I'm fully aware that Natasha Romanoff is a fictional ...

Dec 30, 2021 · I’ve read Attached and Thais Gibson’s attachment theory books and really enjoyed those, but haven’t heard anything about any others. This isn’t an attachment theory book, but I also loved “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone” by Lori Gottlieb and would like recs similar to it. Thanks in advance!

May 22, 2022 · If you want to dive into the romantic side of things, I highly recommend reading "Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love" and “Becoming Attached: First Relationships and …

It's a solid book, but I find people read it and use that to excuse their behavior. "You can't ask me to do that. I'm avoidant". or "Why won't you understand I'm anxious and accommodate me?" In itself knowledge is power. But using it to avoid the work to heal is not. It's useful to understand your tendencies so you can make adaptive choices.
