We are bound to people in our romantic relationships and friendships, in our families and at work. These bonds push and pull at us in ways that might make us feel stuck, dispensable, or unstable. However, they can also make us feel valued, respected, and truly loved.

The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You shines a light on the healthy bonds we deserve in our lives. You will learn about the bonds that you are participating in and the price you may be paying from your authenticity. You will learn that you can break the bonds that hurt and build the ones that heal.

The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You examines several different types of bonds, including convenient bonds, trauma bonds, toxic bonds, forced bonds, enabling bonds, transactional bonds, and healthy bonds.

One truth will always stand: The most important bond you have in your life is the one with yourself. By keeping that bond strong and healthy, you can create nourishing soul-to-soul bonds with others.

About the Author

Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese Canadian activist, author, speaker and educator. Her search for a home was central to her early years as she struggled to find her place in the world. She became a teacher and a doctoral candidate in educational leadership. As Najwa began to write in an effort to connect with and heal her first students, a group of young refugees, she found that she was also writing to heal herself. The author of three collections of poetry, she delivered the TEDx talk 'Finding Home Through Poetry' and recently launched a digital school, Soul Academy, and a podcast, Stories of the Soul. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Glamour, Elle Canada, HuffPost and more.
