True healing begins when you stop giving the one who broke you the pen that writes the story of how you heal. Instead, you decide to put your broken pieces back together with the healing threads of self-love and inner wisdom. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe are bound to people in our romantic relationships and friendships, in our families and at work. And those bonds pull at us in ways that might make us feel stuck, dispensable, or unstable. But bonds with others can also make us feel valued, respected, and truly loved \n\u003ci\u003e. The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You\u003c\/i\u003e explores the seven types of bonds that hold us to people: healthy bonds, convenient bonds, transactional bonds, forced bonds, enabling bonds, toxic bonds, and trauma bonds. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou can learn to recognize the bonds that weaken you and the ones that strengthen you.
