Taking Yourself Back from Unhealthy Relationships: Learning How to Get Unstuck

Talking about toxic relationships is never comfortable and can often feel like finger-pointing and pathologizing. However, these cycles often create insidious internal narratives around excessive self-blame, limiting ourselves to retain attachments, and a loss and even fear of identifying our authentic selves. These relationships hold us back from articulating needs, wants, feelings and aspirations. In the very quest to remain attached to family members, partners, friends, even institutions, many people have had to sacrifice more of themselves than is ever healthy.

Once we get past the initial overview of what is unhealthy in a relationship, we will turn our attention to the far more important work of excavating ourselves. Whether you are exploring family of origin patterns, issues that have arisen in intimate relationships, or even workplace issues – this workshop will turn off the gaslights so you can identify these patterns in your life, become more discerning, and recognize behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns that persist because of unhealthy relationships characterized by antagonism, narcissism, invalidation, or betrayal.

Radical Awareness as Survival Healing From Invalidating & Antagonistic Relationships

Healing from narcissistic and antagonistic relationships is never a simple or linear process. It requires clarity, reflection, and—critically—a supportive community. In this workshop, we come together to explore what happens to us inside these relationships and how we can begin reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve had to quiet in order to stay connected.

Rather than rushing past your own story, we take the time to sit with it. We examine the dynamics of narcissistic and invalidating relationships, the toll they take on our sense of self, and the ways we learn to doubt our own reality. Even if you aren’t ready for radical acceptance, we move into awareness at a pace that feels grounded and safe.

Throughout the weekend, we take a deep look at the experiences you’ve carried—your patterns, your adaptations, the chaos you may have had to normalize. We reflect, we ask questions, and we explore how what once felt uniquely isolating is actually part of a broader, shared experience. You may recognize your story in someone else’s, and in that recognition, feel less alone.

This gathering is a reminder that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. As we reconnect with our authentic selves, we not only turn off the gaslights in our own lives—we also create the clarity and compassion that can help someone else find their way back to themselves.

Navigating and Healing from Toxic Workplaces

You aren’t alone. Many people find themselves in workplaces shaped by manipulation, betrayal, entitlement, or abusive leadership. Whether it’s a colleague who undercuts you, a boss who destabilizes your confidence, a business partner who damages what you’ve built, or clients whose behavior leaves your staff exhausted and anxious, these dynamics can derail both your work and your well-being. And in some settings, the entire institution becomes triangulated and unjust, leaving you to navigate it with little support.

We rarely discuss how narcissism and antagonism operate at work, even though the psychological impact mirrors what we see in toxic families or intimate relationships—confusion, self-blame, hypervigilance, and isolation. Leaving isn’t always an option; financial, professional, and ethical pressures keep many people stuck, often compounding shame and emotional strain. For those juggling other narcissistic relationships outside of work, the toll can be even heavier.

This program offers space to understand how these patterns show up in professional environments, how they affect us, and what we can do to protect ourselves. It’s a chance to learn with others who have faced similar challenges and to gather tools that support clarity, boundaries, and healthier ways of navigating toxic workplace dynamics.
