Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? Nobody wants to acknowledge that they possess these characteristics, but when you are constantly over the alert, anxious, or worried when it comes to your spouse, you might suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that’s often rooted in early years as a child experiences.

In Insecure in Like, you’ll understand how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your mental poison or harmful behavior patterns and respond to them in a nurturing way-rather than beating yourself up. You can also understand how insecurity can adversely affect healthful dialog between you as well as your partner (or potential partners) and develop the abilities needed to stop you from regressing back to outdated patterns of neediness and possessiveness.
