5 Real talk about nervous systems.

Attachment isn’t just psychological—it’s biological. Your body is involved. Your nervous system is
involved. We’ll talk about how to work with your biology, not against it.

HOW TO USE THIS WORKBOOK
Here’s the deal: this workbook only works if you actually do the work. Shocking, I know.

You can read it cover to cover, or you can jump to the chapters that feel most relevant to you. Each chapter
builds on the previous ones, but they also stand alone.

A few guidelines

► Be honest. Nobody’s grading your answers. Nobody’s even going to see them except you.

► Be compassionate. Your attachment style developed for a reason. It was trying to keep you
safe.

► Be consistent. Small, regular steps are better than occasional deep dives.
► Be patient. Attachment patterns developed over years or decades. They won’t change over-
night.
