Hm been a long time since I have read anything in the self-improvement world. It feels like Attachment Style may be what The Five Love Languages wants to be. But is this the book to really dive into that topic? Eh, maybe, maybe not. A pretty basic primer. Interesting that it doesn't offer much advice besides a few mindfulness exercises and multiple calls to get a therapist. I guess it's honest? Really villainizes avoidant attachment folks in a few spots, but also takes the time to point out that one isn't trapped by their attachment style.
Doesn't offer much in terms of recovery and goes over the same information multiple times, but from slightly different angles each time. Could have had another solid pass by an editor with several misspellings, missing words, grammar/punctuation errors. Also reminded me of some of those tricks from school where you make the font as large as you can get away with, go with double spacing (or sometimes on 1.5 spacing if you can't pull off double), and fiddle with the margins to hit the page count you're looking for. The benefit of that those was lots of space for notes and responses to the text.

I bought this book expecting it to teach me heal avoidant attachment trauma, but it only glossed over the different types of treatment methods (like, try mindfulness!) without really getting into the details of how you can treat yourself. Unfortunately, most of the therapists I've seen have no more understanding of avoidant attachment than I do, and I am yet to find a book that provides self help content on avoidant attachment treatment.
The entire healing section of the book could be summarised in a paragraph. The rest of the book was just general stuff about what avoidant attachment is, which I had already read on the Internet!

This might have been written by AI or it must have been written by an amateur psychologist.
BE ADVISED: Do not seriously consider this book. The title is misleading, and the information is shady and unreliable. Very few sources in the bibliography. I had more sources in my Bachelor thesis. And that wasn't publishable believe me.
To Linda Hill: you are a fraud.

This book should be called getting involved with an avoidant attachment. There is lots of information on identifying an avoidant attachment and how to have a relationship with one. I found very little information to help me move closer to a secure attachment.

Great book! Just finished it. It's definitely the type of book you keep on hand while further learning. It opens your mind to why you may be the way you are. Definitely recommend all her book!

Great book at guiding you on how to break out of bad avoidant habits. Rated 4 stars as I thought the book seemed to be aimed more at people in relationships with avoidants, than avoidants themselves.

The author uses a very clear writing style to guide the reader through an overview of where attachment styles came from, highlights research and provides explanations in clear simple words that doesn't patronise and then goes into more detail on how to identify and work on attachment styles in your own relationships. She culminates this easy read with ways in supporting the avoidant attachment in their everyday life by suggesting ways of doing visualising, mindfulness and highlights that change is always possible. A great read. Recommended
