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 mentally, emotionally, & spiritually abusive relationships.

-You may find it easier not to personalize hurtful actions by your partner/significant relationship 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.
