The Relationship Guide for Single People

"For me, this book had to be written, after discovering dating from an EFT couples counselors perspective. The fundamental elements for building a safe attachment relationship from the start are known and can be learned. This book provides all the information single people need to start dating in a healthy, meaningful way to find a love relationship that will last." - Aukelien van Abbema, author

​

Aukelien draws from her vast experience as an individual counselor and as a couples counselor using both attachment science as a foundation for emotional and behavioural changes towards more healthy dating and relating.

​

This book is published in Dutch as "Het relatieboek voor singles" and is translated into English. It will be published in December 2024.

Praise for The Relationship book:

​

"Aukelien van Abbema vividly describes the doubts and fears of singles. Dating is exciting and necessary to eventually get into a (lasting) relationship. She looks at it all from the perspective of attachment theory and that gives support and hope! An uplifting and realistic book in which you will recognize a lot!"

– Karin Wagenaar, EFT trainer and chairwoman of the EFT Netherlands Foundation

​

"This book does something special. It tells and 'relates' the knowledge from the world of couples therapy and brings it to those seeking a long-term, mature love relationship. The author candidly uses her own experiences to welcome the lifestyles of singles. 'A hopeful and encouraging book for anyone on their way to finding a life partner."

– Jef Slootmaeckers - accredited EFT trainer, supervisor, therapist. Director EFT-Belgium

​

"What a wonderful book. I enjoyed it immensely and I think and hope many more people will enjoy it very much. It is well and smoothly written. Here-and-there a more than wonderful articulation of EFT. Original language finds and expressions. Highly recommended!"

– Peter Verboom, GZ psychologist and EFT relationship therapist

​

 "Aukelien has a smooth pen so her book reads like a train! She succeeds in bringing difficult and complex themes in a light-hearted and understandable way and takes the reader along in a way in which the things she sees so clearly are also conveyed that way. In the combination of her personal experiences and her insights from various therapy streams, Aukelien processes everything into a beautiful whole, which will no doubt help many people."

– Catherine Vanthemsche, clinical psychologist and EFT singles therapist and trainer
