Paulien Timmer’s Media, Publications and Public Recognition
Paulien Timmer is now fully specialized in the Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style, but her earlier work in relationships has already received broad national and international recognition.
Published Books & Research Work
Before the age of 30, Paulien Timmer published two widely successful relationship books, both published by Prometheus, one of the largest independent publishers in the Netherlands.
Her first book was based on an extensive research project in which she personally interviewed 100 couples who had been happily married for over 40 years, gathering unique empirical insights into lasting relationships.
Dr. John Gottman, the world-renowned relationship researcher, personally endorsed Paulien’s work, stating:
"What Paulien Timmer does with this book is admirable. Research shows that happily married people live longer, are healthier mentally and physically, recover faster after being sick, earn more money, and have better functioning children."
