Listen Later

Mary Toolan is the CEO of Scapegoat Child Recovery Ltd., and a globally recognized expert in helping others heal from family scapegoating, parental bullying, and family mobbing. She has dedicated her life to guiding survivors of this deeply painful and often invisible form of abuse toward full recovery, helping them break free from the psychological chains of their past. Her expertise comes not only from decades of research, training, and hands-on experience but also from her own lived experience as the family scapegoat. Mary understands this wound from the inside out, and she has spent years developing a groundbreaking approach to healing that has transformed lives. Through her programs, survivors have described their progress as life-changing and their growth as happening at warp speed. She is a sought-after speaker, regularly featured on podcasts and global healing summits, and in 2023, she launched a transformational online retreat that brought together over 1,700 participants from across the world for a week of deep healing, community, and breakthroughs. Mary is on a mission to expose the truth about scapegoating, the devastating impact it has and the fact that it is possible to heal. Mary is living proof that being cast as the family scapegoat does not define your worth or your future, and by means of her journey, training, and deep personal work, she’s built a bridge and is helping as many as possible get to a place of healing and true freedom.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting.
