Brave in Love
The Four Fear-Faces and the Path to Safe & Happy Relationships

Emotional safety is the foundation for lasting and fulfilling relationships, yet hidden fears often undermine our ability to connect and love fully. These fears create patterns of insecurity, avoidance, and misunderstanding that can leave both singles and couples feeling stuck and unhappy.

In Brave in Love, experienced therapists Åsa Nyvall and Helene Arkhem draw on years of clinical practice to reveal the roots of these fears and their impact on relationships. Through real-life case studies, practical exercises, and their unique framework of the Four Fear-Faces, they guide readers to identify their core fears, understand how these fears shape their behaviour, and develop the emotional security needed to create trust and lasting love.

This compassionate and accessible guide offers clear tools and insights for anyone who struggles to find or maintain a happy, safe relationship. It is a fresh and much-needed contribution to the relationship field, helping readers break free from fear and create connections based on trust and confidence.

Everything is presented in a relatable way, with many instructive sections. I return to this book again and again and take away new insights each time. Well worth reading and genuinely insightful."

“It’s a very good book in five parts, where the reader begins with a short introduction to love and fear, then goes on to explore their own relationship patterns and fears — and finally masters the art of becoming brave and secure in love.”
