Send us a textLeaving an abusive relationship is supposed to bring peace, but for many, the abuse doesn't end—it evolves and often ramps up. In this episode of The Be Better You Podcast, we tackle the reality of post-separation abuse and provide actionable steps to regain your power. I explore common tactics abusers use to maintain control, such as lying to children, launching smear campaigns, harassing you through texts or calls, weaponizing new partners, refusing to follow court orders, and financially draining you through frivolous legal motions. These behaviors are rooted in the abuser's need for control and their desire to punish you for leaving.We also dive into the emotional and psychological toll this continued abuse takes on you and your children. From anxiety and isolation to the erosion of trust and stability, post-separation abuse leaves deep scars that require intentional healing. Many victims feel unprepared for this escalation, often underestimating how far their abuser will go or lacking the support network needed to navigate it.To empower you, I share practical strategies for reclaiming control. Learn how shifting your mindset, by uncovering limiting beliefs that create fear or insecurity, can give you back your power. We discuss how setting and maintain boundaries, train the abuser through consistent actions, and document their behavior helps to protect yourself legally. Building a strong support system with friends, family, mentors, and professionals is also essential. I include personal stories, such as my own experiences with repeated court battles, and offer advice I've given to others dealing with harassment.This episode is filled with relatable examples, empowering steps, and hope for a better future. Don't forget to stay tuned for my upcoming book, releasing this February, which will dive even deeper into this topic and offer a guide to reclaiming your life after abuse.

Send us a textIn the realm of toxic relationships, the decision to go 'no contact' is often misunderstood, plagued by misconceptions that fail to capture its emotional complexity. When dealing with individuals entrenched in narcissism and emotional abuse, severing ties is far from a simple task. Contrary to popular belief, it's not merely about physical distance; it entails a multifaceted process of disentangling oneself emotionally and mentally. The idea that going no contact erases all feelings towards the abuser oversimplifies the depth of emotional attachment that often exists, making it a challenging journey marked by conflicting emotions. Moreover, the misconception that it signifies weakness couldn't be further from the truth; it requires immense strength and self-awareness to recognize the need for such boundaries. Going no contact is not an act of revenge but a vital step towards self-preservation and healing. It's a courageous choice, acknowledging the inherent complexities of narcissistic relationships and emotional abuse, and prioritizing one's own well-being above all else.Support the showEmail: Allison@radiatenrise.comJoin Radiate and Rise Together - Survivor Healing CommunityFREE 20 Minute Chat FREE Consultation to see if my coaching programs are a fit for youTo send a DM, visit Allison's profiles on Instagram and Facebookhttps://www.instagram.com/allisonkdagney/https://www.facebook.com/allisonkdagney/To learn more about my Programs visit the websitewww.radiatenrise.com*Formerly (The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast)

Today, we're diving deep into the incredible power of the brain and its capacity to blend imagination with reality.

Our brain's ability to elicit physical reactions from mere thoughts is not just fascinating; it's a tool we can harness for healing.In this episode, we explore how the brain struggles to differentiate between real and imagined experiences—from the vividness of dreams to the emotional impact of movies.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we're tackling a common misconception: that rewiring your brain after emotional and narcissistic abuse is difficult, if not impossible. Many people believe that changing their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns requires endless struggle and years of hard work. But what if I told you that it doesn't have to be that way? In today's episode, we're diving deep into the power of language and beliefs—how what we say to ourselves shapes our reality, and how shifting those words can make the seemingly impossible, possible.We'll explore the difference between a "realistic" and "unrealistic" mindset, challenging the idea that being realistic means focusing on what you can't do. Instead, we'll discuss how so-called realism often disguises itself as a fear of failure and a reluctance to step out of our comfort zones. You'll learn how to reframe those limiting beliefs into empowering ones, opening up new possibilities for growth and success.Throughout the episode, I'll share powerful examples from history and popular culture, like the story of Grandma Moses, who began her painting career in her late 70s, and the breaking of the 4-minute mile by Roger Bannister, which was once deemed impossible until it wasn't. These stories serve as evidence that the limitations we place on ourselves are often just that—self-imposed and entirely breakable.I'll also introduce you to the concept of Rapid Reprogramming™, a method that makes brain rewiring fast, accessible and effective. Unlike the long, drawn-out processes many believe are necessary for change, Rapid Reprogramming™ offers a simpler, faster way to shift your mindset and create lasting transformation. By the end of this episode, you'll have tips and insights needed to start rewiring your brain, not just for short-term change, but for a lifetime of growth and empowerment.Plus, don't miss the special opportunities I'm offering in this episode: a chance to join my Radiate and Rise community, where you can connect with others on the same journey, and a free 20-minute chat with me to discuss anything that's on your mind.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of the "Be A Better You Podcast," we get into the intricate topic of breaking the cycle of trauma bonds. Many survivors of abusive or narcissistic relationships struggle to let go of their abusers, often believing they are tied to them on a soul level. These deeply ingrained beliefs create a false sense of connection, making it incredibly challenging to move forward. We explore how these beliefs manifest in behaviors such as rumination, social media stalking, and seeking validation from mutual acquaintances. Understanding that these behaviors stem from our brain's attempt to keep us feeling safe is crucial in beginning the healing process.Through a compelling case study, we illustrate the transformative power of challenging and reprogramming these harmful beliefs. One of my clients, who was entangled in a series of abusive relationships, found herself constantly checking her ex's new girlfriend's social media for signs of unhappiness. This behavior was driven by a need to validate her own experience and prove that she was not the problem. By unpacking and reprogramming her limiting beliefs, she was able to break free from this destructive pattern and reclaim her sense of self-worth.We also discuss practical strategies for discrediting painful beliefs and addressing the resistance that often accompanies change. Many survivors hold onto the notion that they could have done something differently to prevent the abuse, which creates a false sense of control. By shifting perspectives and recognizing that the past cannot be changed, we can begin to focus on learning and growing from these experiences. This episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps for anyone struggling to break free from trauma bonds and move towards a healthier, more empowered future.Support the Show.Email: Allison@radiatenrise.comJoin Radiate and Rise Together - Survivor Healing CommunityFREE 20 Minute Chat FREE Consultation to see if my coaching programs are a fit for youTo send a DM, visit Allison's profiles on Instagram and Facebookhttps://www.instagram.com/allisonkdagney/https://www.facebook.com/allisonkdagney/To learn more about my Programs visit the websitewww.radiatenrise.com*Formerly (The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast)
