About this audiobook
Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? No one wants to admit that they possess these qualities, but if you find yourself constantly on the alert, anxious, or worried when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences.
In Insecure in Love, you'll learn how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns and respond to them in a nurturing way-rather than beating yourself up. You'll also learn how insecurity can negatively affect healthy dialog between you and your partner (or potential partners) and develop the skills needed to stop you from reverting back to old patterns of neediness and possessiveness.

Really good book1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could really relate to what the author was writing, having lived many of the examples quoted. It’s very important to be pragmatic and logical about relationships and not flighty and dreamy. The tools in this book will help me to work at a relationship with compassion and reflection, not emotion and reactiveness. Thanks for writing this book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent content, terrible voice actress. Her robotic, unnatural, AI-sounding voice made it hard to take some of the content seriously. And worst of all, the sound editing is terrible! You can hear the voice actress clearing her throat, smacking her lips or swallowing in between lines - just very distracting and cringey to hear those gross sounds right in your ear as you’re listening.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5No value... what a bad book! Not worth ur time
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was very helpful in helping me process my emotions and communicate effectively. I enjoyed that there were tangible examples and exercises to help me develop these skills. Thank you!
