Synopsis

From our earliest years, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, replaying in our daily emotional landscape, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves. And in the wake of a traumatic event—such as a car accident, severe illness, loss of a loved one, or experience of abuse—that attachment style can deeply influence what happens next.

With The Power of Attachment, Dr. Diane Poole Heller, a pioneer in attachment theory and trauma resolution, shows how overwhelming experiences can break our vital connections—with the parts of ourselves within, with the physical world around us, and with others.

The good news is that we can restore and reconnect at all levels, regardless of our past. "We are fundamentally designed to heal," teaches Dr. Heller. "Even if our childhood is less than ideal, our secure attachment system is biologically programmed in us, and our job is to simply find out what's interfering with it and learn what we can do to make those secure tendencies more dominant." Here, through key insights and many practical exercises, you'll learn how to begin your own journey to greater intimacy, wholeness, and resilience.

Goodreads review by Lorena on March 21, 2019

The best thing about this book is the author’s gentle, reassuring tone. I’ve read other books on attachment theory that explain the attachment styles and provide relationship advice, but this is the first book that really made me feel like there is nothing wrong with those of us who have an insecure......more

Goodreads review by Laura on March 30, 2020

I think I like Diane Poole Heller's work filtered through my therapist than I do taking it straight up. I think this book would have blown my mind if I hadn't read about 8 books about attachment theory over the last two years. I think this book would have impacted me more if I had felt the time or t......more

Goodreads review by Lina on September 18, 2023

Knygoje tikrai galima rasti trupinių įžvalgių minčių, kurios bus pravarčios geriau suprantant save ar aplinkinius. Žodžiu - tiesos yra. BET bendrai paėmus knyga nekokybiška. Bandoma pakišti po prieraišumo sąvokomis daugiau dalykų nei yra nesaugus prieraišumas: asmenybės sutrikimą, kompleksus, reakci......more

Goodreads review by Sophia on September 02, 2021

This book mostly ended up being stuff I already knew from reading other books and immersing myself in attachment theory, but I did learn a few new concepts that really stuck. The main take-home for me was the idea of “coherence” — this total attunement that some part of me has been deeply longing fo......more

Goodreads review by Ugnė on January 06, 2023

Didžiulis pliusas už paprastą, aiškią ir turbūt kiekvienam suprantamą kalbą bei už skatinimą atsakyti į klausimus apie prieraišumą tiek įprastoje, tiek streso būsenoje. Ir dar už tai, kad visi nesėkmingi prieraišumai pateikiami be vienpusių kaltinimų kažkam, labiau kaip aplinkybės, kurios žmogų išti......more
