Secure: How to Have a Healthy Attachment to God - PDF Download [Download]

Having a strong, healthy relationship with God is foundational to enjoying every aspect of life. In Kenza Haddock’s work as a trauma and pastoral counselor, she discovered that her clients’ anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders were often the result of a distorted view of God's character. They had developed an insecure attachment to God.

In clinical psychology, attachment theory focuses on how the emotional bonds we form in childhood influence how we approach our relationships with others. Secure takes a look at how this theory applies to our relationship with God. When God created us, he intended that he would be our primary attachment above all else. It is only after we have established a secure relationship with him that we can cultivate healthy relationships with others.

In this book, readers will learn to recognize the signs of an unhealthy attachment with God. As they study foundational truths about God and their identity in Christ, they will gain essential tools for maintaining a secure attachment with God. The outcome will be a life characterized by hope, healing, and fulfilling relationships. Ultimately, a secure attachment with God can lead us to our own “ministry of reconciliation” as we proclaim what God has done for us and wants to do for others.
