What does a healthy relationship look like?

A good question, in theory, but expert couple's therapist Julie Menanno wants you to ask a slightly different one: what does a securely attached relationship feel like?

Moving from the way things look to others to the way they feel, this is a ground-breaking guide to secure attachment in adult relationships. Full of expert advice, Secure Love helps you explore how to increase your capacity for true intimacy. Designed to help you find and sustain love, this book will teach you how to dig into your childhood attachments, label your needs, stay connected during conflict and communicate from a place of vulnerability to build a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

'A must-read for every couple, at any stage of their relationship' Lori Gottlieb, bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone

'With Secure Love, you'll be armed with eternal wisdom for strengthening your relationship. A must-read for any couple' Dr Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) and bestselling author of Hold Me Tight

'Compassionate, humane and extremely helpful . . . Becoming a better partner is a lifelong journey, and Menanno's book is a vital part of that path' Kati Morton, bestselling author of Are u ok?

'Incredibly wise . . . No romantic partnership should be without it' Jen Sincero, bestselling author of You Are a Badass
