We will learn: How to identify toxic or manipulative people. What to expect when leaving a toxic relationship and how to move on without closure. How to let go of anger or self-blame after years of mental turmoil. If you've ever found yourself in a toxic relationship, you know how taxing it can be. First I want to say, it’s not your fault; however, acknowledging your role in it is essential to taking your power back. That might mean spotting signs, knowing what you deserve, or finding a way to get out when you realize something is wrong. So the question is, how did you get there in the first place? How do you convince yourself you deserve better after who knows how long you’ve been brainwashed to think you don’t? And what are the steps to get out and start to heal? That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Stephanie Sarkis. She is a psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, and ADHD. She is the author of eight books and one workbook, including Healing From Toxic Relationships: 10 Essential Steps to Recover from Gaslighting, Narcissism, and Emotional Abuse.
