Worthy of Love

For the person who is loved and cannot fully rest in it. Grounded in attachment theory and the neuroscience of relational safety, this book addresses the specific patterns that prevent genuine intimacy — the managed self-presentation, the testing behavior, the protective distance — and the specific practices of earned security: graduated vulnerability, learning to receive, and the corrective relational experiences that revise the working model. Includes the Graduated Vulnerability Practice and the Love Receiving Practice. For anyone who has held themselves slightly back from the love that was actually present.
