Healing Your Attachment Wounds by Boadi Moore is a thesis investigating attachment as a coping mechanism for social interactions. Moore argues that the attachment we form with our primary caregiver creates an emotional map that determines how we interact with others in our lives. The health of our attachment with our primary caregivers influences the kind of people we bond with. It has been found that a lack of harmonious relationship between a parent and a child is often a source of the strongest emotional dysfunctions. The author discusses ways one can overcome trauma rooted in a lack of healthy attachments.

I will not say that the content of the book is unique, but it is presented in a comforting manner. The author shares her own story and discusses her analysis of attachments. Moore discusses personalities as byproducts of different types of attachments. She provides tips on how one can heal themselves.

There was nothing that I disliked about the book. It is simple but relatable. The tone of the book is empathetic. The author draws from personal experiences making the readers comfortable. The book is professionally edited. There were no grammatical issues. I would rate the book 5 out of 5 stars.

The author has written this book for readers between the ages of 30 and 70. Younger readers might have still not figured out their lives and might not be in a position to affirmatively link their issues with parental attachment styles. Women will especially benefit from reading this book because a major onus of keeping a family together is often on them.

I enjoyed reading this book. I found a few missing pieces in my own puzzle of relationships. I am certain other readers will similarly benefit from this book. I recommend the book to readers who have had poor or unhealthy relationships with their caregivers. Young parents should also read this book so that they can form healthy, nurturing relationships with their children.
