Healing Books For Women
This guide helps women identify their attachment wounds and help them reframe their thoughts to regain control over their relationships. What was the idea, or spark, that first set off the need to write Healing Your Attachment Wounds?
I’d not long self-published Women Going Sober when I experienced what I’d call a stark illumination of my wounded self. Researching Women Going Sober exposed me to Gabot Mate’s body of work, specifically his assertion that addictions originate in trauma and emotional loss. With this nugget of insight, I glimpsed how emotionally ill-formed I felt at my core. A harsh reality to own in my 60s! It dawned on me that I was showing up wounded in every relationship, be it with my partner, adult children, family, career choices, etc. This broken version of me was sabotaging any and all attempts to step fully into an authentic life I’d yearned for as a young girl. I wanted to understand what it meant to have attachment wounds, how I got them in the first place, and where the path to healing might take me. It was only a matter of months after publishing my first book that I launched into writing book #2 Healing Your Attachment Wounds.
What were some goals you set for yourself as a writer in this book?
The vision, when sitting down to write my healing books for women, bundled together as the Sisterhood series, was to blend the latest neuroscience research with an overlay of spiritual awakening, shared struggles and triumphs, peppered throughout with hope and sisterhood. I set out to create a relatable roadmap for personal transformation and healing that would guide my readers through issues emanating from attachment trauma.
In writing Healing Your Attachment Wounds, I imagined my readers would receive a comprehensive understanding of their attachment style and its effect on their interpersonal relationships.
I understood, as I embarked on this healing journey with my readers, I’d be taking courage to confront my own demons.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from your book?
Healing implies emotional work. It requires us to put our suffering into perspective. To look for the gift wrapped up in the wounds we lay down. Letting go of our wounds, however, we got them in the first place, creates space for our story to be as magical as we can imagine. We commit to nothing less than a deeply loving opinion of ourselves.
Do you have future books planned for The Sisterhood Series? If so can you tell us what topics they will cover and when you expect them to be published?
Yes, I feel book #3 calling to be written. I took a road trip recently. It was a long, exhaustive 13-hour solo drive. Towards the end, I got a glimpse of the direction my next book in the Sisterhood series might take. I believe women, young and old, are on their own heroine’s journey to usher in personal transformation that will upshift us all. Using my own journey as the backdrop, as I did in books 1 and 2, might I create an impactful healing book that not only encourages transformative experiences but provides a roadmap to connect with and experience our heroic self?

Healing Your Attachment Wounds: A Guide to What’s Hidden in Your Attachment Style and Relationships
Delving into the intricate world of developmental theory, Boadi Moore’s Healing Your Attachment Wounds illuminates the significant influence of childhood attachment on adult relationships. Moore thoroughly unpacks how attachment styles, shaped during early development, permeate through every aspect of relational interaction, occasionally leading to trauma and misunderstanding.

Her transparent and candid writing style elucidates complex theoretical frameworks, making the subject matter both accessible and enlightening. Serving as an empathetic guide, Moore adopts a holistic perspective on attachment disorders, offering tangible steps towards healing and self-improvement.
One of the standout sections of this insightful book is the chapter dedicated to the concept of ‘letting go’. Despite the common skepticism around this idea, Moore convincingly argues that there comes a point where blaming upbringing loses its merit. Letting go, she posits, creates the necessary mental space to facilitate healing—a vital gem among numerous others in this compelling read.
Healing Your Attachment Wounds not only presents a powerful discourse on attachment styles and their implications, but also fosters meaningful conversation around these often-overlooked aspects of relational dynamics. Moore successfully reframes the common narratives around ‘toxic partners’ by encouraging readers to understand the underlying causes of their behaviors, thus promoting empathy and compassion.
Designed for anyone grappling with challenges related to intimacy, trust, anxious attachment, and identity merging, this book can serve as a valuable starting point. While it does not replace professional therapy, it equips the reader with a comprehensive understanding of their attachment style and its effect on interpersonal relationships. It inspires readers to embark on the journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.
Boadi Moore’s creation is indeed a beacon of hope for individuals seeking healthier relationships, despite the lingering effects of negative childhood attachments. It emphasizes that the past, while significant, need not dictate the future adversely.
The compelling narrative, coupled with Moore’s authentic connection with the reader, makes Healing Your Attachment Wounds not only worthy of one’s time but also deserving of recommendation. It truly serves as an instrument of healing for readers from all walks of life.
