Building Bonds - Why We Choose the People We Choose (and how to change if we want)

Understand your relationships, break free from trauma and hold on to your worth.

Written by psychotherapist, speaker and author Zoë Aston, Building Bonds explores the human experience through the lens of relationships with guidance on how to accept yourself and grow within current and future relationships.

Whether you struggle to make friends, are in a toxic romantic relationship, feel your family bonds need repairing or have any other relationship difficulty, this book will help you understand how to build and maintain relationships with a sense of self-worth, dignity and respect.

Start your journey to healthier relationships by examining the relationship you have with your self. Understand how your earliest relationship experiences can shape the way you enter all future relationships and move forward with accepting your self and building resilience. Work through the book to discover more about romantic relationships, friendships, family relationships, professional relationships and online relationships.

With reflective exercises and personal case studies, readers working through this book will gain a deeper understanding of both their own and others behaviours within their relationships and become equipped with tools to help work through trauma, move on from toxic relationships and build more positive and resilient relationships in the future.
