Scenario: you are so excited to go out for a girls night, but he texts you 25 times accusing you, asking who else is there, wanting you to FaceTime, ruining your night.

That is not love.

That is possession. Control. Toxicity. Poison.

Get out.

I help women uncover the unhealthy patterns in their relationships to see clearly, breathe clearly and feel free.

I’m accepting new clients in Michigan and Florida. To get started, schedule an introductory call at the link in bio.

At some point, your BFF is going to tell you that you need a therapist who specializes in narcissism.

She will say this because she’s tried to be your advisor, your confidante and your therapist, but she’s tired and doesn’t know what else to say.

If you want to learn how you got here, what to do next, how to heal and thrive, schedule an introductory call with me at the link in bio.

One of the biggest challenges after leaving a narcissistic relationship isn’t just healing from the past…

It’s trusting yourself again.

Many women tell me this is the part no one prepares them for.

After months or years of being told:

• “You’re too sensitive.”
• “That never happened.”
• “You’re remembering it wrong.”

You start questioning your own ability to judge good from bad, your own perception of people, and what’s healthy and unhealthy.

So when the relationship finally ends, the fear becomes:

What if I choose wrong again? (Which makes perfect sense to me!)

Narcissistic relationships slowly train women to ignore their intuition and overanalyze everything instead.

Healing isn’t just about leaving the relationship.

It’s about relearning how to trust yourself again.

If you’re trying to emotionally detach and rebuild after a toxic relationship, I created a short course called Letting Go of Toxic Love that walks through the steps of breaking the trauma bond and finding your footing again. It’s only $37 and it’s available at the links above.

Three toxic behaviors that don’t get as much love as gaslighting and love bombing, but are just as bad.

1. Contempt is the number one predictor of divorce according to research and toxic people use it all the time.

2. Lack of support. Toxic partners don’t care if you are drowning.

3. Hot and cold. Ah, the old intermittent reinforcement that creates trauma bonding. Toxic relationships thrive off of it.

Ladies, if you need to look through his phone, your intuition is already on high alert.

If you ask and he says “it’s an invasion of his privacy” that’s not a healthy, open and transparent relationship.

Maybe you should consider that your body is a privilege and a temple and only those who you trust and respect should enter.

They are so charming (except behind closed doors).

The version you get is manipulative, angry, blaming and critical. Certainly not what the neighbors see.

You need a therapist who understands.

If you are struggling after toxic love, comment TOXIC and I’ll send you a link to my mini masterclass called Letting Go of Toxic Love.

When you are in a narcissistic relationship, you question everything. And often think “but I’m also a challenge and I’m difficult.”

But what if you are actually responding to emotional manipulation, gaslighting, criticism and contempt?

And it makes you:

▪️think you are difficult because you have needs

▪️overexplain your needs and hurts

▪️ignore and confuse reality because that’s the kicker of a narcissistic relationship - gaslighting is meant to confuse you

If you need help figuring this out, schedule a FREE introductory call with me at the link in my bio.
