BETWEEN SELF-LOVE AND ATTACHMENT

Some relationships do more than break our hearts—they leave emotional and psychological wounds that are difficult to recognize while we are living through them. Between Self-Love and Attachment explores, through a human and research-based perspective, many of the emotional dynamics present in modern relationships, including anxious and avoidant attachment, love bombing, trauma bonding, gaslighting, DARVO, emotional manipulation, infidelity, self-sabotage, and dysfunctional relationship patterns. Combining real-life experiences, psychological insights, and a deeply personal narrative, Maria Asti-Schulz invites readers to examine the difference between love and attachment, identify the red flags often hidden behind intense emotions, and better understand the unconscious patterns that shape the way we love, connect, and sometimes lose ourselves in relationships. This book is not only an exploration of emotional dependency and unhealthy relationship dynamics—it is also a journey toward self-awareness, healing, emotional freedom, and the transformative power of self-love. For anyone who has ever struggled to let go, questioned their worth after heartbreak, or wondered why love sometimes hurts more than it should, this book offers clarity, reflection, and hope. Because the most important relationship you will ever build is the one you have with yourself.
