It's specifically written about clients who have an avoidant attachment style, and I think you'll find some similarities between yourself and some of the client stories in the book. This book has helped me understand myself more than any other of the like 75 therapy books I have read trying to understand why i'm so...me.

For sure have avoidant attachment... my T and I discussed that, he also didn't diagnose but said I likely have avoidant personality disorder and when I joined a FB group for that, I felt understood. This is why therapy isn't for me. I don't like emotions or talking about things that i think are private or painful. I avoidant constantly in therapy.
