They say they can't trust you anymore. Even worse, you feel you can't trust yourself. Your reality now consists of escalating feelings of failure, guilt, inadequacy and shame. And again, you turn to medicate and escape your reality. The vicious cycle continues. All you want is relief. Please know, hope and healing is possible.

Are you questioning if you are in an emotionally abusive relationship? Do you feel like your relationship is making you crazy? Being stuck in a toxic situation, especially with a person or people who lie and are manipulative, makes you doubt everything.

The most common thing I hear from my clients is, "I don't trust my own decisions", "I am always second guessing myself", "I feel like I am walking on eggshells", " I'm exhausted everyday".
