Hope for Relationships: Feeling seen, heard, valued, and protected

By: Gabriele, Leslie

Theo has pretended to be a robot since childhood to guard against his feelings of uncertainty when thinking about himself and when interacting with others. When Theo turns to his trusted friend, Max, for help, they work together to strengthen Theo's ability to be self-aware. Gradually, Theo better understands how to care for himself, notice what he offers to others and what others offer to him, and to thoughtfully consider and value what is meaningful to him.

This book offers strategies to strengthen relational skills associated with secure attachment. After experiencing the defensiveness and self-protection associated with insecurity or trauma, knowing how to feel safe and at home in the body is an important part of feeling stable, present, and whole. Understanding and practicing skills associated with secure attachment can strengthen the ability to be calm and to self-calm when feeling defensive.
