Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love Author: Jessica Baum, LMHC

Anxiously Attached by licensed mental health counselor Jessica Baum is a compassionate and research-informed guide to understanding and healing the emotional patterns that stem from anxious attachment. With empathy and expertise, Baum empowers readers to break the cycle of insecurity in relationships and create deeper, healthier bonds.

Drawing on psychological principles and her clinical experience, Baum covers:

The origins of anxious attachment and its impact on adult relationships

How childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping styles

The science behind neurobiology, regulation, and relational dynamics

Tools for developing self-awareness, inner security, and personal boundaries

Strategies for building fulfilling connections—romantic, familial, and platonic

Using the concept of the “self-full” life, Baum teaches readers how to cultivate emotional resilience and self-trust. Through guided exercises and real-life examples, the book shows how healing begins from within—not by fixing others, but by nurturing your own emotional well-being.

Visually, the teal cover and alternating heart icons represent vulnerability, contrast, and growth. The clean design echoes the book’s message: clarity, balance, and love are not reserved for the lucky few—they’re achievable with intention and care.

Ideal for individuals navigating relational anxiety, therapists, or anyone seeking healthier emotional patterns, Anxiously Attached is both a soothing companion and a roadmap to transformation.
