Because Every Heart Needs Direction- Erica Djossa
You have consumed a bucket of ice cream, gone through boxes of tissue, and watched every movie and TV series on Netflix in an effort to drown your sorrows and numb the invisible pain. You make every attempt to try and take your mind off of it, yet you still feel like it haunts you….
Like the wildly popular book suggests, it truly is a break up because it’s broken. Generally, breakups happen when there have been many attempts to better the relationship and nothing works. I am obviously in favour of trying to restore relationships and don’t take the ending of a relationship lightly, but that being said,…
Hello dear friends! I’d like to have a family chat to keep you all up to date on a few changes that have happened. I had originally founded the blog in October 2013 under ericadjossa.com. There has been such an amazingly positive response from all of the readers and the blog has even managed to…

Attachment research suggests that if we are paired with a secure partner we are less likely to experience this roller-coaster dynamic. But what happens if we are not paired with a secure partner?
