Through my own healing journey, I know the damage emotional abuse leaves in your life, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially, because I’ve been there.

This was a game and I didn’t have the rules.

After an unhealthy relationship, I was left a shell of my former self and I’d lost everything; I was broke and I was broken…

I was stuck in a debilitating cycle of questioning and doubting myself - “If only I had said… If only I hadn’t said… Maybe if I had done… Maybe if I hadn’t done… “ I thought it was all my fault.

The very first part of healing was dealing with the trauma bonding, and realising it really wouldn’t have changed anything if I had said or done anything differently.

I believe the emotions we feel, are trapped trauma, experienced over and over again until we remove it completely from our system. I believe we need to get to the core of the issue, to the root cause; and much like a verruca, if a tiny part of the root is left it will lay dormant until it is triggered again.

The problem with a lot of methods is they only scratch the surface of the problem and act more like a bandaid rather than a full solution…

Every step I have taken over the last 20 years has brought me to this point, to be able to spot the hallmarks of abuse and transform the grit into gold.

I not only write about Emotional Abuse I also run workshops to help people understand and heal from these relationships and start to have a relationship with themselves - knowledge is power!
