Dating after emotional abuse isn’t about learning better lines or spotting red flags faster.
 It’s about understanding what gets activated inside you when intimacy returns.

In this episode, I sit down with Tina Joy, and we go far beyond surface-level dating advice. We talk about what really happens when someone starts dating again after a narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship—and why so many people feel confused, triggered, or afraid even when nothing is “wrong.”

We explore:

  • What to focus on before dating again after abuse
  • How to tell the difference between real red flags and old wounds getting activated
  • Why emotionally intelligent, self-aware women are often told they’re “too much”
  • How abuse distorts self-worth—and what it takes to rebuild it
  • The green flags that actually matter when you want a healthy, emotionally safe partner

And honestly? We talked about a lot more than we planned—because this conversation opened doors.

This episode is for anyone who wants to date again without losing themselves…
 for anyone who doesn’t want to repeat old patterns…
 and for anyone who wants connection without chaos.
