    I am looking for books on attachment, safe/healthy relational patterns, recognizing and changing unhealthy/unsafe relational patterns that are generalizable and not related strictly to romantic relationships.

    The goal is to increase attachment and trust and change isolating ways of relating for a person who is social and has a successful career, but does not “let people in”, and so is perpetually lonely and uses drugs to numb the feeling.

    Consider “Daring Greatly” by Brene Brown. She has a TED talk “The Power of Vulnerability” that you may also enjoy. She does a wonderful job of exposing the feeling of isolation, what drives it, and what to do about it.

    Also, “Turning the Mind into an Ally” by Sakyong Mipham may resonate with you. What’s around you? What are you seeing? How are you relating to what you’re seeing? Holding yourself back? Etc. Are you your best friend and advocate? Is your mind gentle to yourself? Patient?

    Namaste, happy seeking!

    Brene Brown is great. Her book “The Gifts of Imperfection” is also fantastic. And that TED talk is wonderful.
