I’ll cover what makes the best online emotional abuse support groups in just a minute. There are four things that you really need to watch out for. But before I want to welcome Lacey, welcome.

Lacey: Hello Anne, thanks for having me.

Initially just friends and maybe counselors and books, I would read them and listen to it, and it didn’t resonate with me. So as I dug further, I started learning words like betrayal trauma. You know, I didn’t even know that’s what I had. So I didn’t know those are the words I needed to search for. I just started stumbling across things, so I had to weed through a lot of things that were not helpful before I could get to the things that were.

Even with books they suggested, sometimes you’re just not in a place where you can sit down and read and comprehend a book. Betrayal Trauma Recovery for me was just something consistent, weekly. That I could turn on and listen to. What you were saying was resonating with me. So I took your advice. It was good for me when I found BTR because it’s a consistent voice of reason that I could turn to. Listening doesn’t take nearly as much brain power as sitting down and studying or something like that.
