“I’ve always been fascinated by attachment theory, which does a won-
derful job of explaining how pivotal early events color all of life. Leslie
Becker-Phelps helps us understand how ‘anxious attachment’ plays
itself out in our current relationships—and what we do can to heal
from that substantial early wound. Highly recommended!”
