I Grew Strong: Survivors of Toxic Relationships

Photo of Laura A Clay, LCPC, ATR, EMDR, Counselor
Hosted by
Laura A Clay

I Grew Strong is an online coaching and educational program created specifically for survivors of a toxic, manipulative relationship with someone that may have been a narcissist. I Grew Strong focuses on changing negative self talk, learning to trust others again, knowing the red flags, having the power to say NO and RUN when you need to run, setting boundaries, NOT doubting yourself all the time, NOT questioning other people's motives (unless they are needing to be questioned), breaking down the walls (while still feeling strong and safe), and opening yourself up to finding real love and joy!
