After learning from her own toxic relationship, Shannon Petrovich takes an assertive approach to reclaiming her self-worth and healing her broken heart - while discovering the powerful tools needed to help others do the same.
"That you really should be able to fully exist in a relationship. Your thoughts, feelings, wants, needs, aspirations, goals and dreams should be fully present in a relationship. If your partner is not empathic and passionate and caring about all those aspects of you that you are in a toxic relationship, you can get free and you can rebuild your sense of self and your connectedness and your life."
Shannon Petrovich is the author of Out of the Fog into the Clear and an expert on toxic relationships. She has worked with many men who have been in toxic relationships and has a lot of male clients who have come based on toxic relationships.
Shannon Petrovich had been a therapist for 35 years and wanted to share her knowledge with the world, so she started a YouTube channel. After fielding questions about toxic relationships, she realized she wanted to help people heal from them and wrote a book about it. With the help of Pod Match, Shannon has been able to talk to people from all over the world and share her story. She's passionate about helping people understand toxic relationships, especially men, as it can be hard for them to recognize the manipulation and control they are under. Shannon believes that journaling can help people notice how they talk to themselves, and ultimately heal from toxic relationships. She encourages people to recognize their thoughts and feelings, be assertive, and take ownership of their own self-care.
