​​​Have you ever left a relationship and thought What just happened? Or have you been in a relationship where you were constantly questioning what was happening, who the other person really was, or why you stayed in it longer than you would normally stay in a relationship that didn't make you happy?
​
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have been in a toxic relationship, that may have included intimate partner violence (emotional abuse counts!). In order to truly heal from these relationships, we have to understand what happened in them. 
 
Learning about the abuse has two main functions:
​
  One - It helps us process the memories in our frontal cortex so that we can remove them from being stuck in the hippocampus. When memories are stuck there, we experience them as PTSD or trigger or activating responses. In other words, the confusing memories are stuck in our bodies and get expressed as surprising reactions from out of nowhere.
​
  Two - It teaches us what happened so we don't get in those relationships again! So many times, people will leave abusive relationships, only to get into another one, or one that is toxic and controlling, so it doesn't seem as bad as the abusive relationship, but it still hurts.
​
Do yourself a favor and learn what happened so you can heal and not experience that hurt again!
​
​​This workbook teaches you about toxic relationships, has journal entry prompts, and teaches you coping tools.
