You may be in the right place if you…

Constantly question your memory, judgment, or reality
Feel anxious, hyper‑alert, or emotionally exhausted
Replay conversations trying to make them make sense
Feel bonded to someone who hurt you and don’t understand why
Struggle with guilt, shame, or self‑blame
Feel like you lost your voice, confidence, or sense of self
Are afraid of repeating the same relationship pattern
Have been told you are “too sensitive,” “dramatic,” or “the problem.”

These reactions are common after prolonged emotional manipulation. They are trauma responses, not character flaws.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to label them a narcissist for this to help?
No. We focus on behaviors, patterns, and impact—not labels.

What if I still love or miss them?
This is common. We work with the bond compassionately and strategically.

What if I share children or can’t go no‑contact?
We focus on protective boundaries, communication strategies, and emotional regulation.

What if I’m afraid no one will believe me?
Your experience matters here. You do not need to prove your pain.
