Recently, I had a conversation with Amanda Fludd, LCSW-R, about protecting your peace in a relationship that is draining you!

We discuss tips you can use to help start the healing process if you've left one of these relationships, and also what to do if you find yourself unable to leave.

I'm excited to be part of the upcoming Self-Care Reset Summit, a free virtual space for Black and Brown women to rest, reflect, and reset—together.

We’ll be unpacking burnout, boundaries, grief, joy, balance, and what it really means to care for yourself when you’re always holding it down for everyone else.

Come join me and a dope lineup of women for real conversation, practical tools, and a space that actually sees you.

Dr. Ramani Durvasula, PhD, refers to the impact of narcissistic abuse as Antagonistic Relational Stress in her latest book, “It’s Not You.”

It was the first time I had heard a term that closely identified the physical and emotional symptoms I was experiencing within a previous romantic relationship. The symptoms had a name, it felt more real, and was not just my inability to “get over it.”

The reality of antagonistic relational stress and narcissistic abuse is that the impact on the person both psychologically and physically is immense. There is a lot of shame and guilt that also come along with the healing process from this type of relationship dynamic because of the misconceptions that exist around abuse and relationships.

It takes time for the mind and body to process the impact of such relationships and it takes time to heal. Give yourself grace.

🚨Exciting Announcements!🚨
It’s been a minute since I’ve been on IG. I’ve been doing a lot of research and work on some upcoming offerings, started EMDR Therapy training (yay!), and also got sick. Now that I have taken some much needed time and rest, I am so happy to be sharing some of the things I’ve been working on behind the scenes!
🚚CC Therapy & Wellness is MOVING! 🚚
We are so lucky to have been asked to join the West End Wellness space located at 53 New Britain Avenue, Suite 6, Rocky Hill, CT 06067. I am working on the finishing touches to my office as we speak, but will be ready to take clients at this new location starting Monday, April 22, 2024!
CC Therapy & Wellness is still owned and operated by myself, but I get the wonderful privilege of collaborating with two other amazing providers every day! I am so grateful to and our space in East Hartford for giving us our first home!
Also starting Monday, our weekly blog will launch! Check out our website (link in bio) to sign up for the latest updates!
I definitely have kicked off my 35th year on this planet with a bang!

🌻

As always, thank you for your support!
