Klappentext

From Amir Levine, MD, coauthor of the multimillion-copy bestseller Attached: What’s the secret to finding success, happiness, and love? You need to feel SECURE.

Amir Levine, MD, coauthor of the multimillion-copy bestseller Attached, returns with a groundbreaking new insight from the latest research: your attachment style isn’t fixed. It is relationship-specific: you can be secure with one person and anxious or avoidant with another. It isn’t rooted only in your childhood relationship with your parents, and it can change throughout your life. Most of us, however insecure we feel, already have a kernel of security somewhere in our lives. The question is how to cultivate it.

Secure answers that question. Drawing on attachment research, neuroscience, and twenty years of clinical practice, Dr. Levine introduces Secure Priming Therapy and Coaching, a step-by-step approach to building security through everyday interactions with the right people. You’ll learn to create an attachment map of all your relationships, uncover your kernels of security, and use simple, practical tools to become more secure with the people at work, in your life, and with yourself.

Secure is the definitive guide for anyone looking to improve their emotional health, deepen their connections, and build a more fulfilling life.

Zusammenfassung
Amir Levine, MD, coauthor of the groundbreaking, multimillion-copy bestseller Attached, presents a bold new promise—that anyone can learn to create a secure life—and offers cutting-edge tools to make it a reality.

Years after first introducing attachment styles to the general public and forever revolutionizing our understanding of human connection, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine returns with a brilliant, paradigm-shifting work on the science and practice of secure attachment. As Dr. Levine explains in Secure, people with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skins. And remarkably, the latest research shows that anyone, regardless of how insecure they may feel, can learn to create a secure life.

The benefits of living in “secure mode” are extraordinary: people tend to be healthier and have a better relationship with their health care providers. When they do have a difficult illness, they have fewer symptoms and handle it better emotionally. If they’re looking for a job, they’re more effective in their search and their self-esteem doesn’t suffer as much. They are less susceptible to consumerism. They even navigate social media better and experience fewer of its negative impacts.

In Secure, Dr. Levine presents his pioneering approach, Secure Therapy and Coaching, offering practical, neuroscience-backed tools to help readers cultivate security so that they can thrive. Secure is the definitive guide for anyone looking to improve their emotional health, deepen their connections, and build more fulfilling lives.
