Leslie Becker-Phelps The Insecure in Love Workbook: Step-by-Step Guidance to Help You Overcome Anxious Attachment and Feel More Secure with Yourself and Your Partner
A step-by-step workbook to help you move past anxious attachment and feel more confident in your relationships! Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? If they go out with their friends, do you worry that they might be flirting or hooking up with someone else? Do you often worry that they’re going to leave you? If you find yourself constantly on the alert or anxious when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment—a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences. So, how can you move past this anxiety before it hurts—or even destroys—your relationship? Based on the self-help hit by Leslie Becker-Phelps, The Insecure in Love Workbook offers engaging activities, tips, and exercises to help you overcome attachment anxiety by developing compassionate self-awareness. You’ll learn to recognize physical sensations, negative thoughts, distressing emotions, and unhealthy behavior patterns that underlie your insecurity; and respond to them in a more nurturing way—rather than beating yourself up. You’ll also discover how insecurity can overwhelm or paralyze you, negatively affecting the relationship between you and your partner. Finally, you’ll develop the skills needed to stop repeating old patterns of self-doubt, neediness, and possessiveness. If you suffer from anxious attachment, you probably know that you need to change, and yet you have remained stuck. But by developing compassionate self-awareness, you can finally free yourself from this cycle of self-sabotage, so you can nurture greater self-acceptance and cultivate secure, healthy, and lasting relationships.

Ed Tronick, Claudia M. Gold The Power of Discord: Why the Ups and Downs of Relationships Are the Secret to Building Intimacy, Resilience, and Trust
Dr. Tronick was one of the first researchers to show that babies are profoundly affected by their parents' emotions and behavior via "The Still-Face Experiment." His work, which brought about a foundational shift in our understanding of human development, shows that our highly evolved sense of self makes us separate, yet our survival depends on connection. And so we approximate, iteratively learning about one another's desires and intentions, and gaining confidence in the process as we correct the mistakes and misunderstandings that arise.

John M. Gottman The Science of Trust: Emotional Attunement for Couples
In this new work, Dr. Gottman presents his newest findings on trust, trustworthiness and betrayal in a breakthrough approach to understanding and helping couples. Based upon empirical data from five studies across the life course, Gottman reveals the dynamics in everyday couples' interactions that either build or erode trust. And there are surprising results. For example, the relationship process that dissolves trust has nothing to do with the process that finally ends in betrayal - they are two separate processes. Most important, Gottman shows clinicians how to block the avalanche towards betrayal by teaching clients the fine art of emotional attunement, and if trust has already fallen prey to poor relationship skills or betrayal, how to reconstitute trust and renew commitment.
