Narcissistic Abuse, Gaslighting & Recovery -Alison

You've started keeping notes, just so you can check your own memory later. You apologise for things you're not even sure you did, and you second-guess what you saw and heard. From the outside the relationship looks fine, which is part of what makes it so hard to explain to anyone. When someone rewrites what happened often enough, you start to lose trust in your own read on things. If you're beginning to wonder whether what you've been living with has a name, you're not imagining it, and you're not too sensitive.

Do you feel more like roommates than partners, stuck in the same argument on repeat? Maybe the connection that once felt easy now feels distant or strained. When couples fall into these patterns, conversations can quickly turn defensive or shut down, leaving both partners feeling unheard and disconnected.
When I work with clients, I help slow these cycles and create something different. I support you in having conversations that feel safer, clearer, and more productive. Imagine feeling heard without escalation—having grounded, honest conversations where you feel understood and back on the same team, rebuilding trust, and calm.

Relationships form the foundation of life. It is within our relationships with others that we come to understand who we are and find happiness, meaning and fulfillment. However, relationships can also pose some of our most trying obstacles as it is where we often are the most vulnerable. Every relationship goes through unique challenges that can lead to deterioration of communication and emotional connection. Having a safe space to explore deeper emotional experiences and vulnerabilities can open the possibility of change through increased awareness, mindfulness and intentionality.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
