Starting Stronger

Getting out of a marriage with a narcissist is challenging. Retraining our brains to escape the mind*bleep*ery we grew used to is exhausting. Re-engaging in relationships is terrifying. But none of it is impossible. We know because we’ve been there. Starting Stronger exists to bring hope and voice to the unique experience of learning to trust and love again after years of betrayal, manipulation, and narcissistic abuse.
