Summary:
Break
free
from
trauma
bonds
and
develop
the
healthy
, secure, and loving
relationships
you deserve! If you experienced physical or emotional abuse, neglect, or abandonment as a child, you may struggle with unhealthy
relationships
as an adult. Hurtful
attachments
with our caregivers in early childhood
can
lay the foundation for
toxic
relationships
. Those experiences
can
even affect the way we handle conflict, our feelings toward sex, and our expectations of our partners. But this doesn'
t
mean you
can
't change. This book will help you gain a greater awareness of the
trauma
bonds
that prevent you from getting the love, safety, and security you desire. In
Why
Can
't
I
Let
You
Go
, relationship expert Michelle Skeen will help you identify your attachment style, core beliefs, and the harmful behavior patterns that are keeping you stuck in
toxic
relationships
. You'll learn proven-effective skills to help you interrupt these unhelpful patterns and
attachments
in new and old
relationships
. You'll also discover what you really value in
relationships
and
go
on to
develop
healthy
, secure, and lasting love. Understanding yourself and your deeply held, and often unconscious, beliefs is the first step toward liberating yourself from
trauma
bonds
. Change isn'
t
easy, but in time you'll realize that it's easier and less painful than the heartache and self-doubt you've been enduring for years. With this compassionate guide, you'll find the support and guidance needed to create the loving
relationships
you truly want. Unhealthy, hurtful
attachments
with our parents or guardians in early childhood
can
create a relationship
trauma
bond (RTB) that sets the foundation for dysfunctional and
toxic
relationships
in adulthood.��In
Why
Can
't
I
Let
You
Go
, relationship expert Michelle Skeen and her daughter Kelly Skeen help readers identify the harmful core beliefs and behavior patterns that are keeping them stuck in
toxic
relationships
, so they
can
heal their
trauma
bond and
develop
healthy
, secure, and lasting love
relationships
. Michelle Skeen, PsyD, has a doctorate in clinical psychology. She is the author of Love Me Don'
t
Leave Me: Overcoming Fear of Abandonment & Building Lasting, Loving
Relationships
and six other books. Her passion is coaching individuals in creating and maintaining
healthy
relationships
by bringing awareness to core beliefs and the related patterns of behavior, which often work unconsciously to limit connections with others. Michelle believes that an early introduction and education in core values and
healthy
communication are essential life skills for success. To that
end
, Michelle and her daughter, Kelly, coauthored Just As You Are and Communication Skills for Teens. Skeen completed her postdoctoral work at the University of California, San Francisco. She co-developed an empirically validated protocol for the treatment of interpersonal problems that resulted in two books: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Interpersonal Problems and The Interpersonal Problems Workbook. Michelle's work has appeared in more than thirty publications around the world. To find out more, visit her website at www.michelleskeen.com. Kelly Skeen is a graduate of Georgetown University in Washington, DC, with a degree in American Studies, Education, and Spanish. She is an art museum professional, developing meaningful, accessible, and relevant gallery experiences for diverse audiences.
