Helping clients to reclaim their selves, their voices and their worth is one of the ultimate goals when working to help these clients remove themselves from a toxic emotional relationship. Often times, clients have no idea that they were in a codependent relationship with someone abusing their power and control and instead these clients feel beaten down emotionally, confused, stuck, isolated and experience the constant feeling of “walking on eggshells” to try to control the inevitable conflicts that arise in their relationship. I have a specific process that I work with in order to help these clients recognize, understand and protect themselves from the manipulation and control that is driving the relationship and ultimately work with them closely to regain their sense of who they are, their needs, and to break the cycle of abuse addiction that they are a part of.
