- 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.
