About this listen
Do you find yourself continually being pulled back to painful, stressful and upsetting situations from when you were little?
Are you still struggling, trying to come out of the other side of the dark tunnel that was your childhood?
When you want to break free from the shackles and pull of the past, you need to find a way to help yourself that works on a variety of different levels. The problem is that, unlike experiencing a one-off traumatic event, a traumatic childhood is probably all you know. You don’t have anything happy and peaceful to refer back to that shows you what you were like before the negatives started occurring in your life.
But this is not the moment to give up hope. In fact, this is the moment to stand up, step forward into your power and decide to be the one who will change the way the rest of your life unfolds. How is this possible? It’s possible because…
…you CAN achieve so much in your life simply by believing that you will get to the destination you’re dreaming of right now. After all, I did it. Why can’t you?
“Toxic Family Survival Guide” is for anyone who wants to give themselves a fighting chance at happiness and peace in their life, no matter what their early years subjected them to.
Inside, you're going to learn about:
- Toxic family roles and patterns
- Effects of living in a dysfunctional family
- Traits of an Emotionally Immature Parent
- Signs you were raised by an EIP
- Mental issues that come with unresolved trauma
- Living with a narcissistic parent
- How to recover from unresolved childhood trauma
- Traits of an emotionally mature person
- Dealing with Dysfunctional In-laws
- Setting boundaries and cutting off ties with toxic people
- Building and maintaining healthy relationships

Story
If you're constantly feeling on edge, forever working to appease your spouse to little avail and feel like you're constantly being chipped away at with their abusive behavior, then I can understand how emotionally shattering it feels to live this way. If, in the same breath, it breaks your heart to even consider leaving them because you can't imagine life without them, then I can understand that feeling too - because I was trauma bonded to my abusive ex.

Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood.

Story
Narcissistic abuse creates a tidal wave of confusion, hypervigilance, and overthinking. You have trouble thinking clearly, remembering things, or taking in new information. And because these changes are happening to you, you begin to wonder: What's wrong with me? Why can't I make this relationship work? Am I fundamentally broken? And that's exactly how narcissistic abuse works—it happens so subtly that you believe the insecurities you're experiencing are "you" instead of "what's happening" to you. This audiobook covers unique information related to narcissistic abuse.

Story
But It’s Your Family is a remarkable account of what it means to cut ties to toxic family abuse and thrive in the aftermath. Loving someone doesn’t always mean having a relationship with them, just like forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. Reconciling, in many cases, only sets people up for more abuse. A significant part of healing comes with accepting that this is a part of life; there are some relationships that are so poisonous that they destroy one’s ability to be healthy and function best.
