The Sacred Rebellion™
An 8-week live psychoeducational group for women reclaiming themselves after narcissistic abuse & coercive control.
You survived the relationship. But leaving, or recognizing what happened, isn't always the end of it. You may still question your own perceptions. You may understand intellectually what happened and yet find that your nervous system hasn't caught up. You may struggle with guilt, self-doubt, hypervigilance, grief, anger, boundaries, or the unsettling question:
Who am I now?
The Sacred Rebellion™ is an eight-week live online psychoeducational group created to help women understand the psychological aftermath of narcissistic abuse and coercive control and begin reclaiming the parts of themselves that were silenced, doubted, diminished, or lost along the way. This is not about diagnosing the person who hurt you. It is about understanding what happened to you, and coming home to yourself.
What You’ll Explore
Over eight weeks, we will explore the psychological patterns that can keep survivors tethered to abusive or controlling relationships long after the relationship itself has changed or ended—and what it means to begin reclaiming your own internal authority.
-
Understanding narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and the cycle of relational harm
-
Gaslighting, cognitive dissonance, and learning to trust your own perceptions again
-
Trauma bonds, attachment, and why leaving emotionally can be so complicated
-
The nervous system after prolonged relational stress
-
Boundaries, guilt, grief, anger, and the loss of self
-
Reclaiming identity, agency, intuition, and a life that belongs to you
The goal is not simply to understand what happened. It is to understand what happened to you—and what becomes possible from here.

Is The Sacred Rebellion™ for You?
You do not need to have everything figured out—or even have perfect language for what happened—to belong here.
This group may be a fit if you have left a relationship, or are beginning to recognize and make sense of a relationship marked by narcissistic abuse, coercive control, chronic invalidation, manipulation, or the gradual erosion of your sense of self.
You may know something was deeply wrong and still find yourself asking:
Was it really abuse? Why do I still doubt myself? Why do I miss someone who hurt me? Why am I still affected by this? And who am I now?
Those are precisely the kinds of questions The Sacred Rebellion™ was created to hold.
What It Means to Come Home to Yourself
Recovery from coercive or narcissistic relationships is not simply about learning to recognize what happened. It is about beginning to hear yourself again.
Your preferences. Your anger. Your intuition. Your boundaries. Your desires. The parts of you that may have learned to become quieter, smaller, more accommodating, or less certain in order to survive the relationship.
The Sacred Rebellion™ is an invitation to begin reclaiming those parts—not by becoming someone new, but by returning to the self who was there all along.
You do not have to become fearless. You get to become yours again.
Join The Sacred Rebellion™
The Sacred Rebellion™ group will be intentionally small, creating space for meaningful conversation, reflection, and connection.
