Do you find yourself wondering about the dynamics of your relationship and the way your partner treats you?
Feeling chronically confused, doubtful, or unsettled?
Apologising often, even when you’re not sure what you’ve done wrong?
Walking on eggshells or carefully monitoring what you say?
Friends or family expressing concerns about your partner?
Researching gaslighting or narcissistic abuse and wondering if it applies to you?
Or perhaps the relationship has already ended, yet the confusion, conflict, or sense of being controlled hasn’t stopped—especially as you navigate separation, divorce, or co-parenting.
If any of this feels familiar, you are not imagining things.
Identifying emotional abuse in intimate relationships is particularly difficult. By its very nature, emotional abuse relies on distortion, justification, and blame-shifting, slowly eroding your confidence in your own judgment and making it harder to speak up or trust yourself.
Over time, this can leave you feeling emotionally depleted, confused, and isolated – caught in a cycle of good days and occasional acts of kindness, followed by bad days of put-downs, blame, callousness, excessive jealousy, or micromanaging.
For many women, this pattern does not automatically end with separation. Emotional abuse often continues after separation, particularly through legal processes, parenting arrangements, and ongoing contact.
When you find yourself:
- Constantly apologising
- Self-censoring or second-guessing your words
- Becoming cut off from friends or family
- Feeling the need to record conversations or arguments
…these are strong indicators that you are likely experiencing emotional abuse.
If This Sounds Familiar, This Workshop Is for You
This workshop offers a clear, compassionate, and practical way to understand what is happening in your relationship without pressure, judgment, or the need to share intimate details.
By joining the workshop, you will learn:
- Why emotional abuse needs to be understood within a pattern, not isolated incidents.
- The 3Ds of Emotional Abuse: Disrespect, Distort, and Disempower.
- The mental and physical impact of long-term emotional abuse.
- Why do partners use abuse in relationships.
- Post-separation abuse, including common challenges and ways to protect yourself and your children.
- What helps and what doesn’t, whether you remain in the relationship or choose to leave.
- The vital steps on your journey of healing.
Important: Please note this is a psychoeducational workshop, not a therapy group. While personal questions and experiences come up in discussions, self-disclosure is not required, and personal sharing is contained.
This is a supportive space for women only seeking to understand emotional abuse in intimate relationships through a well-informed, practical, and considerate approach.
This workshop was designed with you in mind if:
- You are in a relationship that doesn’t feel right, but you’re unsure whether it would be considered emotionally abusive and you feel stuck between leaving and waiting for change.
- You know you are experiencing emotional abuse, yet still doubt whether it is “that bad,” or hope your partner will change. You may be considering leaving but feel scared of what that might bring, or you have chosen to stay and want to make things more manageable.
- You are separated or going through divorce and finding that the abusive dynamics have continued or intensified. You may be dealing with ongoing manipulation, legal intimidation, or challenges around parenting. If you have children, you may be trying to understand how to protect them while also caring for yourself.
Listen to me discuss the workshop on The Divorce Course Podcast
The workshop is held in a comfortable, private space at my practice and brings together a small, intimate group of 6–10 women.
You will receive in-depth, practical information drawn from my years of research, training and professional experience supporting women in emotionally abusive relationships. I use real-world examples, facilitated discussions and lived experiences to clearly illustrate harmful dynamics.
My goal is not to overwhelm you, but to help you truly understand what emotional abuse looks and feels like, so you can gain clarity and trust your own experience.
The workshop includes:
- Open, thoughtful group discussions
- Plenty of opportunities for questions and reflection
- Connection with other women facing similar challenges
- Validation, compassion, and support, without judgment or shame
And yes, while the topic is serious, there is still room for warmth, humanity, and the occasional laugh. Healing does not have to feel bleak!
“Emotional Abuse (EA) leaves you in a heap, feeling powerless. They say education is power. Krasi’s emotional abuse workshop was able to open my eyes to the insidious nature of emotional abuse. How it hides in everyday comments that seem fleeting. How these comments hurt your soul by 1000 paper cuts. How the status of my relationship really and truly is not on me! The self-blame is one of the hardest things to let go of. That is unfortunately thanks to the EA. And this workshop gave me the tools to go back to help re-train my mind that it is not me and work on accepting that I am a victim-survivor” – Mila
“I attended the workshop, thinking my experience is so unique and still asking myself if it was me that did something wrong in my marriage. There I met these beautiful ladies – so strong, supportive and most of all – empathic. We shared our stories without judgement or fear. During the session I was able to find answers for myself to many questions. I felt understood, my feelings were validated. I left the room stronger, braver, and believing in myself.” – Maria
“Attending this workshop was truly eye-opening. It helped me realize that my experiences weren’t unique to me alone. I had the chance to connect with other women who shared similar stories, and it was incredibly comforting to know I wasn’t alone. The workshop helped me understand that what I went through was abusive, and it reassured me that I wasn’t just being over dramatic or overly emotional. I also learned to find compassion for myself, especially when reflecting on why I stayed in the relationship for so long. Most importantly, it gave me the courage to believe that I, too, can move on and create a new life for myself. I now understand that none of the treatment I endured was my fault. I didn’t deserve it, and I’ve come to terms with the fact that no matter what I did, I would never have been able to meet his unreasonable expectations. I’m grateful for the support and clarity attending the workshop provided.” – Natalie
“This was exactly what I needed at a point in my life when I was at a crossroad. Krasi’s workshop helped me see clearly what had been going on for a long time but I always felt confused and unable to name. Meeting other women and hearing their shared experience and wisdom was incredibly powerful and validating and I feel grateful to have had this opportunity when I did.” – Isabella
“Krasi is the ultimate support and guide to identifying and explaining emotional abuse. Her workshop is impactful and highly educational.” – Helen
