Grab a journal, pen, and grace for the information you will gather in this read.
Be prepared to have some feelings and do what you can. Try not to slam any doors. There is a lot of information, but very interesting to learn about yourself and partners (present or past.)
Thank you for the opportunity to review this audiobook.
The New Rules of Attachment narrated by Dr. Judy Ho takes the reader on a directed journey to not only identify their attachment style but also learn how they can show up more securely. I found the guided exercises to be really thought provoking. Unfortunately I didn’t have the PDF journal so I had to follow along with my own notebook as best I could. Even without having access to all the questions, the ones I wrote down really helped me reflect. I’ve done therapy before and listening to Dr. Judy Ho kind of took me back. Her voice is super soothing and I felt like she helped me learn a lot about myself. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family!
Thank you for allowing me a chance to review this book.
Dr. Judy Ho and her approach with the different attachment styles and how they affect us as adults is so validating. In this book, Dr. Ho includes a quiz for figuring out your attachment style, then gives descriptions for what they meant for people as children noting what core needs were wounded, and how that affects people in adulthood through their romantic relationships, family relationships, work, school, friendships, and self-concept. Her program provides exercises and methods for readers to work themselves in all areas of life. Through reading and completing the tasks, readers are able to heal their inner child so that all can develop a secure attachment style.
I felt called out by Dr. Judy Ho in this book! The way that she was able to explain me perfectly made me feel less alone in my struggles. As a parent, I felt this book provided me with more context in how to heal myself and the awareness to raise my children in a way to hopefully make sure they have a secure attachment. I appreciated this book and hope that by continuing to do the exercises, I can be the best person and mom I can be.
