Attached: How the science of adult attachment can help you
Rachel S.F. Heller & Amir Levine
Discover why you act the way you do in love — clinging, withdrawing, or feeling at ease — and learn it's biology, not brokenness. This microbook unpacks the science of adult attachment styles, helping you recognize your own patterns, read a partner's wiring early, and build relationships grounded in real security.
