While each client’s experience varies, these are some things you might notice after (or while) attending therapy…

-You may be able to understand why certain subtle behaviors of your partner (or other significant relationship) feel unsafe, as you learn about patterns of behavior common in emotionally abusive relationships.

-You may find it easier not to personalize hurtful actions by your (partner) when you recognize what drives these behaviors.

-You may feel more confident when saying ‘no’ or drawing limits/boundaries in your relationships as you learn to trust your instincts.

-You may find it easier to recognize the difference between ‘Safe’ and ‘Unsafe’ relationships, in the early stages of a relationship.

-You may recognize areas of growth that you need to make in order to create safety for those to be in relationship with you.

-You may find peace with having fewer relationships as you learn which relationships are worth cultivating and which relationships belong in your past.
