I’ve witnessed this more times than I can count. For nearly 30 years as a lecturer, I have worked with more than 10,000 people — young students stepping into adulthood, experienced staff balancing careers and family, and managers navigating leadership pressures. Again and again, I saw the same quiet struggle: people carried the weight of insecure attachment style, anxious ambivalent attachment style, or anxious attachment in relationships without ever having the tools to heal.
That is why I wrote the Disorganized Attachment Workbook: Heal Anxiety, Rewire Your Mind & Build Secure Relationships. While many books on anxious attachment or standard attachment theory books explain the science, too often readers finish them still feeling lost. People don’t just need theory — they need a way to practice healing. This workbook offers exactly that: reflection, structured writing, and compassionate exercises you can return to every day.
It is more than information. It is a guide, a companion, and a safe space to begin changing the story of how you love.
