Hanging on by these words

My story is like many others searching for help. I read Out of the Fog and several other books recommended by Dana. These books along with her YouTube channel and podcasts are helping me to feel okay again. I’m still healing, but I now feel empowered by this knowledge. I cannot thank you enough Dana.

Thrive After Abuse Saved My Life

Dana knows healing from narcissistic abuse backwards and forwards.

She shares her wisdom in a gentle, easily relatable, and engaging way.

When I happened upon this podcast, I did not know what I did not know. She helped me heal by finding that truth I had, deep down, and she helped me understand how to avoid similar pitfalls going forward.

Had I not listened, I would likely have been sucked back into that vortex of doom that I did not even realize I had been swimming in.
