New Rules of Attachment: How to Heal Your Relationships, Reparent Your Inner Child, and Secure Your Life Vision by Dr. Judy Ho
Synopsis -
Discover a revolutionary approach to attachment theory that teaches readers how to heal their inner child to change their anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment style in relationships, friendships, at work, and home—perfect for readers of How to Do the Work, Polysecure, and Amir Levine’s Attached. Did you know that attachment style impacts more than romantic relationships? As it turns out, most of us are thinking about Attachment Theory all wrong, and triple board-certified clinical and forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho is here to set the record straight.
Grounded in the science of attachment, Dr. Judy’s game-changing approach shows that our attachment style impacts every aspect of our lives: friendships, career, goal setting, and, critically, our sense of self. Moreover, we can all learn to become securely attached—no matter what attachment style we developed in childhood—meaning that we can reclaim our ability to feel safe, loved, and capable of achieving the life we’ve always wanted.
Through Dr. Judy’s innovative program, readers will learn to identify their attachment style, recognize their core needs and wounds, and implement evidence-based practical tools to heal their inner child as they develop the secure attachment we all need to thrive.
Readers will also benefit from:
- A new attachment style quiz to identify your attachment style in all areas of life.
- A personalized approach that allows you to start making positive change today.
- More than two dozen transformative exercises to support your journey to healing.
The New Rules of Attachments was an eye opener for me. I didn’t grow up feeling accepted for who I was, hence always struggled with confidence and self-acceptance. I have been working on this for several years now, but it hasn’t been easy. When the author shared, “…the attachment style that you developed during your early years does not have to determine your life going forward…,” I was relieved.
In this book Dr. Judy Ho shares from her deep experience working one-on-one with patients. She writes about the 4 types of attachment styles, and includes a questionnaire to help you sort out which applies to you. This isn’t cut and dried. We can have different behaviours in different circumstances and other influences can have an effect. For me, it wasn’t the questionnaire, it was reading the descriptions of each style that helped point to which category most applied to me. Then I jumped to the chapter that covered this attachment style. Here she offers a more in-depth explanation of that style, real life examples, and extremely easy to understand and implement exercises.
While I focused my reading on my attachment personality, I may go back and read the in-depth overviews of the other styles to see if anything there applies to me, as well as to gain a better understand the behaviour of others I interact with. I highly recommend this book!
