Workshops: Education, Insight, and Recovery

These workshops are facilitated, science-based presentations designed for individuals who have experienced—or are currently experiencing—pathological relationship abuse. Each session provides empirically grounded information on personality disorders, the dynamics of psychological manipulation, and the recovery process. Supplemental resources are included for continued learning and reflection.

Part II: The Psychological and Physiological Impact

• What is traumatic cognitive dissonance and why is it so devastating?

• How pathological abuse affects the autonomic nervous system and core belief system

• Evidence-based treatment approaches for recovery, based on the latest empirical research

Part III: Live Q&A

• Questions are welcome throughout the presentation via Zoom’s chat feature and will be addressed during this final segment
