About Attached audiobook: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love
Finally, our relational conditioning, or attachment style, can be troublesome, but it can also improve with time, especially with purposeful therapy treatment. Understanding attachment theory can be an important element of that therapeutic improvement process.
So, what is attachment theory?
Attachment theory was founded in the 1950s by British psychologist and psychotherapist John Bowlby, who investigated the enormous influence that our early interactions with our parents or caregivers have on the individuals we become. The fact that our urge to be in a close connection with one or more persons is encoded in our genes is also essential to attachment theory. You will learn more about it in Attached audiobook: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love.
Levine and Heller explore how these evolutionary forces continue to determine who we are in our relationships today in Attached audiobook: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love.. According to attachment theory, every individual in a relationship behaves in one of three ways:
- ANXIOUS persons are frequently preoccupied with their relationships, and they are concerned about their partner’s ability to love them back.
- AVOIDANT persons associate connection with a loss of independence and work hard to avoid contact.
- SECURE persons are at ease with intimacy and are often warm and kind.

The writers of Attached audiobook: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love did not recommend that we all appear indifferent and as if we don’t desire significant relationships when, in fact, we want. Or that a woman should be evasive and have a man “hunt” her. This appears to be the general opinion in most dating literature. However, as the authors point out, it makes little sense, particularly if you are emotionally connected. Pretending you don’t want to be in a meaningful relationship just attracts the wrong individuals for you (avoidants, if you are anxious).
