Why Can’t I Let You Go?
Break Free from Trauma Bonds and Develop the Healthy, Secure, and Loving Relationships You Deserve!
Authors: Michelle Skeen, PsyD & Kelley Skeen
đź’” About the Book
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a painful, on-again-off-again relationship—or drawn to partners who hurt, manipulate, or abandon you—Why Can’t I Let You Go? will help you understand why and, more importantly, show you how to stop repeating the cycle.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Michelle Skeen and her daughter Kelley Skeen combine decades of therapeutic insight with warmth and compassion to help readers uncover the root causes of trauma bonding—the emotional glue that keeps people attached to toxic relationships despite the pain.
By drawing from attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), this book helps you:
- Identify your attachment style and unconscious core beliefs.
- Recognize how past emotional wounds influence current relationship choices.
- Understand the difference between intensity and intimacy.
- Heal from emotional dependency and develop secure, healthy attachments.
- Learn practical tools to set boundaries, self-soothe, and cultivate real love based on mutual respect and safety.
With relatable stories, science-based strategies, and compassionate guidance, Why Can’t I Let You Go? empowers readers to break free from destructive patterns and reclaim their self-worth—paving the way for love that feels safe, nourishing, and real.
đź’ˇ Key Takeaways
- Discover Your Attachment Style: Understand how early life experiences shaped the way you love, fear, and bond with others.

- Heal Core Beliefs: Replace the false stories (“I’m unlovable,” “I’ll always be abandoned”) with new, empowering truths.
- Redefine Love: Shift from chasing chemistry and chaos to cultivating emotional safety, authenticity, and trust.
- Build Secure Connections: Learn daily practices for emotional regulation, communication, and self-compassion.
