Lisa A. Sonni

Lisa Sonni is a certified relationship coach, author, educator, and trauma bond recovery expert known for her clear, compassionate, and direct approach to abuse recovery. As a survivor of domestic assault and narcissistic abuse, Lisa brings both lived experience and professional training to her work, helping survivors understand the emotional and psychological patterns that keep them stuck in toxic and abusive relationships.

Lisa specializes in trauma bonds, narcissistic abuse, coercive control, emotional abuse, self-worth, and rebuilding after abuse. Her work speaks to the questions so many survivors quietly carry: Why did I stay? Why do I miss them? Why do I keep going back? Why does leaving hurt so much when the relationship was hurting me?

Through her books, journals, workbooks, courses, coaching programs, podcast, and social media platforms, Lisa reaches millions of survivors with education that is validating, practical, and deeply human. Her mission is to help survivors stop blaming themselves, recognize abuse for what it was, break the trauma bond, and rebuild a life that finally feels like their own.
