Jacent Mary Mpalyenkana
“All hurt is founded on attachment to anything regardless of its nature. When we detach we vibrationally send ourselves back into the flow of life.”
Dr. Jacinta Mpalyenkana, Ph.D, MBA

“There are three defining factors that distinguish unavoidable conflict seen in healthy relationships from conflict seen in a push-pull dynamic, toxic relationship, or trauma bond. All three can erode intimacy. They are: the frequency of the conflict, the intensity of the conflict, and whether each partner is solution-focused.”
Annie Tanasugarn
