Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find-and Keep-Love with Rachel Heller
Feb 10 2012
According to psychiatrist and neuroscientist Levine and consultant Heller, authors of Attached, one's adult romantic partnerships have patterns similar to those one has as a child with one's parents. Our need for attachment, they conclude, is hardwired into our brains, but each of us expresses it differently. Focusing on three main attachment styles (secure, anxious, and avoidant), Rachel Heller will present research that explains how our biology and our "attachment style" enormously impact how and why we form the relationships we do. The author will share revelatory findings from studies done on adult attachment and debunk many of the relationship myths by which we live, date, and mate. Although many books have addressed how these styles affect parent/child relationships, no mainstream book has yet shared the mountain of findings from adult attachment research and shown how this information can be applicable to our lives-until now. Rachel Heller will teach us how to identify our own and others' attachment styles, how to avoid relationship pitfalls-including mismatched attachment styles, "protest behavior" and "deactivating strategies"-and adopt secure relationship strategies for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people we love. The lecture is open to and beneficial for both singles and couples.
