Guarded to Grounded: Understanding and Healing Avoidant Attachment
By Emily Hartwell
You don't have to keep pushing love away to protect yourself. You can rewrite the story.
If you've ever felt the urge to retreat just as a relationship gets close, struggled to express your needs, or prided yourself on your independence—while quietly longing for connection—this book is for you.
In Guarded to Grounded, author Emily Hartwell offers an empowering, compassionate guide to understanding avoidant attachment and transforming the patterns that no longer serve you. Drawing on the foundations of attachment theory and enriched with powerful real-life case studies, this book shows you that healing is not only possible—it's within reach.
Inside, you'll discover:
This isn't about blaming the past. It's about reclaiming your future.
Whether you're just beginning to explore your attachment style or ready to shift long-held patterns, Guarded to Grounded offers clarity, encouragement, and a practical path forward.
Change is possible. Connection is possible. It starts with understanding—and gently protecting a heart that's ready to heal.
