Der Bindungseffekt

Why do we repeatedly encounter the same critical points in relationships? Why can't we find the person who truly fits us? When love becomes difficult, it often has a deep-rooted cause: many relationship problems are, in fact, attachment issues. What we learn about close relationships as toddlers shapes our attachment style. This influences whether we approach others with positive expectations or fears, how much closeness we allow, and how much trust we can offer. Our attachment style is a central part of our personality; it affects all close connections. However, it has the greatest impact on our romantic relationships. Yet, as experienced couple therapist Ursula Nuber demonstrates in her new book, we are not at the mercy of our attachment patterns. We can become more loving and capable in relationships if we examine what we learned early on and dare to make new experiences.
