Join Fi and Rebecca Nicholls in this very special episode “Learning how to Trust Again After Toxic Love”.

This episode is the first of three I have recorded with experts in their field who have lived experience, to raise awareness, provide support and shine the light on the issues still affecting survivors, long after they leave the relationship.

If you’ve been searching for answers, and find yourself asking “how will I ever learn to trust myself/others/partners again?”, this episode is a good starting point.

I really hope you enjoy the conversation! Drop me a message below and let me know what resonated most for you; and your favourite bit of advice/ tip we shared that you’ll try this week 🌼

To listen to the episode in full, simply follow this link to sign up with your email and the episode will be sent straight to your inbox.

“That never happened.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“I can’t believe you’d accuse me of that.”

If any of those sound familiar, you’ve probably experienced DARVO —

Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim & Offender.

It’s a classic tactic used by abusers to dodge accountability and make you question your own truth.

When that happens, don’t argue your way out — move your way back in.

MOVEMENT MANTRA - TRY THIS ⤵️
Cross your arms, then open them wide. Embrace in the self love hug !
Close. Open. Close. Open.
Notice the space that’s still yours.

Your body knows what’s real.
Trust it.

Save this post for the next time someone tries to rewrite your story.
