Your journey to healing starts here.
There’s a reason you found this website.
You may be here because your relationship feels uncomfortable—and you’re looking for answers and healing.
Or you may be a therapist, searching for resources to support clients impacted by intimate partner abuse or coercive control.
Either way, you’re in the right place.
Whatever you call what’s happening, many people affected by an abuse of power identify with feeling disrespected, criticized, silenced, or hurt. Over time, this can lead to questioning their worth, doubting their perceptions, or feeling as though their needs and opinions don’t matter.
Wherever you find yourself, this space is designed to offer clarity, understanding, and a path forward.
Whatever you call what’s happening, you probably identify with feeling disrespected, criticized, silenced, or hurt. You may feel like it doesn’t matter what you want, that you aren’t good enough as you are, and your rights or opinions aren’t valid or respected.
If you’ve endured what I’ll call an abuse of power in your relationship, you’ve come to the right place. Here, you’ll find resources that help you reflect on your experience and replace any falsehoods you've come to accept with your truth.
If you feel confused or embarrassed by your situation, please know that you're not to blame. You are not responsible for their choices. Also, this could happen to anyone - regardless of gender, race, or who you love. You did not choose to be treated this way, and more importantly:
You didn't know what you didn’t know.
This is a place to begin learning what you didn’t know. Above all, a place to begin your healing journey
