This book is crucial in making readers understand why we react the way we do, how our encounters during our young age have a huge effect on us, and in facing our fears, anxiety & inadequacy, we’ve activated and getting so used to the survival modes: fight, flight, freeze & fawn in order to feel secured and to be in control.
The book explains the 6 different aspects of the fear of intimacy (fear of abandonment, fear of not being good enough, fear of trusting people, fear of people’s emotions, fear of control, fear of not being loved) and the need for us to understand the reasonings behind the fears, so that we’re able to face them, change our mindset and eventually see the worth in us, not being held back by the fears & the past.
