I asked over on my IG if folks had a general roadmap of what the journey looks like for survivors of toxic people. Today I share with you my first thoughts on what that journey looks like. Turns out its 7 steps and if you think I missed anything or have any feedback shoot me an email [email protected] 

After a bad experience with someone who was supposed to help me, I started to think about what things people should just never say to the survivors of toxic people. This episode is about three of them!

So maybe its not actually *being* a jerk, but it can definitely feel like being a jerk. Most survivors tend to be people who care a lot about taking care of the folks around them. While that is a beautiful thing, reclaiming our agency post-abuse sometimes requires stepping outside of that role.

I get real vulnerable here and talk about three big reasons every survivor should be so freaking proud of the ridiculously difficult stuff that we've all had to navigate. While some of these may feel basic, they really can be super important to keep in mind on our journey.

Survivors are often told that they shouldn't share their stories because it is stigmatizing to folks who have the same mental illnesses as their abuser. In this episode, I explore whether that has any merit and what, if any, conditions survivors should be open to revising their beliefs about toxic people.
