Insecure in Love
by Leslie Becker-Phelps
A psychologist's guide for the anxiously attached: how the pattern forms, how it shows up in jealousy, clinging and self-doubt, and a compassionate self-awareness practice for changing it. It is focused and practical, a good next step after Attached for readers who recognized themselves.
Read it if…
you are anxious in relationships and want to work on yourself rather than find a different partner.
Skip it if…
you are avoidant; the book is written for anxious attachment.
Three things you will actually use
- Anxious attachment is learned and can be unlearned.
- Compassionate awareness beats self-criticism.
- Act from values, not from fear of loss.
Do this first
When anxiety spikes, write what you fear, what you feel in your body, and what you actually know.
Our verdict
Focused and kind.
